No, whatever your age or dancing ability ... even if you have two left feet, is perfectly ok! No experience is necessary as everyone will be taken through the dances by the caller before they are put to the music.

The larger the dance floor the better but we usually recommend a minimum of 5 meters squared. Small spaces just limit the number of people that can join in and adequate space needed for certain types of dances. Smooth, hard dance surfaces are the best to avoid the risk of tripping over.

Yes, all dances will be taught in a fun and friendly style and tailored to suit any audience by our experienced caller.

There is no upper limit. The dance floor size may be a limiting factor but we would normally expect groups of 30+ as a minimum to ensure enough to make it go smoothly. We have done them with much less in the past!

We have played at countless ceilidhs where the majority of the guests have never heard of a ceilidh let alone participated at one. We will get them up and they will end the evening changed people! Ceilidhs or Barn Dances are the perfect ice breaker at any event and a very easy and fun way to interact and socialise with others.

We predominantly do ceilidh dances from Scotland, but we also do some from Ireland and Cornwall. They are generally long way sets, square sets, processional or circle dances. Some popular ones we do include Riverside Jig, Strip The Willow, Virginia Reel, Borrowdale Exchange, Dashing White Sargeant, Cumberland Square 8 and Gay Gordons to name a few.
