Common Questions:

What is a Ceilidh?

English Ceilidh (with Ceilidh being pronounced 'kaylee') is a more
riotous and eclectic variation on English Folk, Barn or Country
dancing. Simple Folk Dances done with energy to music deriving from
Irish to Caribbean.

It's what you get when you take the gentler English Country or Folk
dancing and add excitement. The form of the dances is basically
simple. The quality of the dance is very much dependent on the band
plus how well the band, caller and dancers get on with each other.

The new wave of English Ceilidh bands use a mix of traditional and
recent tunes and variety of styles; there's as much Rock, Jazz and
Roots as there is Folk.

The Irish 'Ceili' describes more of a party with dancing, 'Ceilidh'
seems to be the Scottish spelling. 'English Ceilidh' has its roots
with these dances and events but has developed a style of its own....

But I don't know any of the dances....

You don't need to!! Our caller John will walk you through everything
first, then the music kicks in, and he continues calling - the moves
are very easy, and its not about getting it right - as long as
everyone has fun.

Do I need to dress up.

Not at all - wear something comfortable, be prepared to get quite warm
if you intend on dancing a lot. Flat shoes, such as trainers are
better for dancing.

Are there refreshments?

We have a fully licenced bar.

Can I smoke in the dance room?

Yes, although please be considerate to those that are dancing.
