Question 1

Do I need dancing experience?

Accepted Answer

No dancing experience is needed. All the dances will be called and we will walk through every dance before we start doing any dancing.

Question 2

Do I need to bring a partner?

Absolutely not! There are some partner dances at ceilidhs but you can ask anybody in the room to dance with you. Lots of the dances will mix everyone up anyway so you will find yourself dancing with lots of different people.

No! This is an informal dance and you can wear anything from Doc Martens to ballet shoes.
