Evenings of Good Fun, Instruction and Dancing !!
Contact Duncan Mackenzie to learn more |
Ceilidh Dancing is the more informal version of Scottish Country Dancing. At our monthly gatherings, we offer live music, refreshments and fun - no partner needed, just bring your smiles and wear loose, layered clothing (can be quite energetic) and flat, comfy shoes (no high heels). Easy dances are all taught from scratch, and we welcome beginners. Come on your own or with a group of friends - even if you have two left feet, come to the class beforehand, and we'll show you how to use the right one! Learn The Dashing White Sergeant; Eightsome Reel; Strip the Willow and other easy dances. It's good fun, good exercise and not at all difficult. Check it out! All dances are held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver. We start with a class at 7 pm, and the dance begins at 8 pm. The whole evening only costs $9 (Students $7). We dance to the music of Calanais, and refreshments of beer, juice, wine and squares are available. Bring your non-dancing friends and have them share in the fun.

"... don't forget to tell your friends to meet you at the Ceilidh Dance on Friday, January 4, 2008. I told you that the Vancouver Branch Demonstration Team are coming to perform as well as to join in the fun. Now I can confirm that CBC are sending a film crew that evening to film us all for a segment to be shown on "Living Vancouver" hosted (or as I said the other night "compered") by Jennifer Burke. They are going to film a bit of the class and then a bit of the dance and then, of course, just when you thought you would be a star, they will cut it all down to about 5 minutes on the programme. This will be a great way to start off the New Year, to get some much needed exercise and to meet and greet old friends and new faces. Make sure you send out e-mail reminders or maybe just forward this letter to everyone on your address book! What with the CBC, the raffle tickets, the Demonstration team and lots of extra publicity, January 4 looks as if it should be a real blast."
