What is a Ceilidh?
Ceilidh dancing is a more relaxed, non-competitive version of Scottish country dancing. Ceilidh dancing is much less formal - its primary purpose being the enjoyment of the dance. Ceilidh dancing over the last 20 years has become increasingly popular with young people, particularly students, and often attract from a few dozen people to several hundred. Going to a ceilidh provides good company, great bands, fun times and having a laugh, while you swing and jig with friends on the dance floor.
A Ceilidh is pronounced "Kay-lee". It derives from the Gaelic word meaning a 'visit' and originally meant just that. It can also mean a 'house party', a 'concert' or more usually an evening of 'informal Scottish traditional dancing to informal music'.
