Welcome
to the Sept 22nd Vashon Ceili
( pronounced kay-lee, this is a traditional Irish Folk
Dance) |
Ceili's
are held monthly at the Grange Hall in Vashon's upper
ferry parking lot. Its only a 15min ferry ride from
Seattle - so walk on and save $$. Our instructor/caller
starts the evening by teaching basic footwork (3's and
7's). And
15mins later, he has us whipped into shape and
we start learning dance patterns. We walk thru
each dance slowly at first, and when we get the hang of
it, the music starts up and we get busy kicking up
some dust on the dance floor. We don't repeat a dance
all night so don't sit out - thinking you'll watch &
catch on. Get busy on the dance floor & start
laffing along with us. Its not Riverdance - that's soft
shoe and hard shoe step dancing. Ceili's are more like a
traditional American barn dance - suitable to all ages.
We recommend leather soled shoes that glide and not
sneakers that stick. Layered clothing also is a bonus as
you will heat up and might want to shed a layer once you
start dancing but a sweater will feel pretty good when
you sit one out. We have a live Irish band, so
keep that Irish spirit alive & come kick up
your heels at the next Irish ceili. We love
newbies !!! So don't be afraid to try your hand at
it.
YOU WILL DANCE A JIG BY NIGHTS END !!!! |
