The dancing we offer to you and your guests is commonly called Ceilidh dancing (pronounced ceili). It is the very best way to bring your two groups of family and friends together for an evening of shared merriment. While disco gyration is practiced alone and in complete darkness (apart from blinding lights) our dancing is done in pairs and groups, with folk weaving round and about in a spirit of advanced merriment. And those on the sideline can enjoy

the spectacle while working on the liquid courage to come and give it a fling. There is nothing serious about Ceilidh jollity. Nobody is awarding points (at least I hope not).
What happens is after some songs and tunes to warm up the band we will invite folk to join Yvette, our dancing mistress, on the floor. She, complete with headset, will show the steps and then call the dance. We often play just a few dances and then invite people to recharge their glasses and relax. This gives others a chance to join in. It's all very relaxed and great fun. And we have dances for all ages and complexity ( or should that be inebration? ).
While Ceilidh dancing traditionally is associated with Ireland and Scotland (and we have great dances from both countries) we also have traditional English dances, what folk here call Country dancing. Tunes abound most especially from Northumbria and from Hardy's Wessex. The only type of English dancing we haven't tried is the Morris, mainly because we couldn't afford the beer.
