Join in the fabulously fun funky social dance Ceilidh Jam, with great dance music with remixed twists, and you’ll get to create your own dance with your friends or family!
And if you don’t yet know what a Ceilidh (kay-lee) is… Ceilidh Jam will get you on your feet for a funked up, unique, folky, social dance – a fabulous chance for all to dance! Using traditional callers to teach, we’ll be mixing folk formations, Street Dance, legendary moves and freestyle grooves – from the Soul Train Line to Lucky 7, Strip the Willow to the Electric Slide.
You created such a great vibe and handled the slow start and gloomy weather with such sparkling enthusiasm you were like pied pipers – people couldn’t resist following you! Fantastic and you are all so talented and engaging … we expected it to be great but it was even better than we’d hoped so big thanks to you all!

Ceilidh Jam Social Dance: “…inclusive and spontaneous…The audience, including children, were invited to join in after the first showcase. After ten minutes they turned from complete strangers into a bunch of people laughing together.”
