The next Vashon Island, WA Irish Ceili is  March  13 '2010  
 Live, traditional Irish music will be provided by the Vashon Ceili Band  and the traditional Irish Folk dances will be taught by our caller. Don't worry if you've never danced  a step in your life - you don't need any experience to have a great time at a ceili dance.  You don't even need a partner. The dances are suited to adults and children over 12 and its just a short 15min ferry ride from W Seattle (fauntleroy terminal).  Dress in layers as this aerobic & you will warm up when dancing, and cool down when watching.  Leather soled shoes that glide work best !  In consideration of those w/asthma & allergies - no strong colognes please.
Walk on the ferry & save $ . Far cheaper than driving on.
