Never been to a ceilidh (pronounced Kay-Lea btw) before?
Actually, it doesn't matter how many of them you've done before, or if you've done none at all.
The person calling the dances, Schuggie, tells everyone what they need to do, and keeps it going. Everyone dances with everyone, whether you know each other or not.
The more people the better!
Everyone gets a go. No one has the chance to bust different moves, and because no one *really* knows what's going on it's very difficult to feel self-conscious.
Essentially, most people are just guessing what they're supposed to be doing, and that makes it brilliant.
There are lots of friendly folks to give you a hand and get everyone up dancing, called Ceilidh Ninjas.
The ceilidhs are fun, social and inclusive. You will however need to bring along a sense of humour as half the fun of ceilidh dances is making mistakes.
Ceilidhs are enjoyed by all ages – from youngsters' first Scottish dancing experience to old-timers out enjoying a burl. People come dressed in jeans, full highland dress – and everything in between.
Wear something comfortable to dance in.
The ceilidhs will be recorded to improve the dancer's experience i.e. how I call the dances and to advertise future ceilidh along with improving dancers' experience.
If you don't want to be included in any of these promotional videos, please make this aware on the night.
Lastly, please don't take your own alcohol into the venue. Buy your drinks from the bar.
