Ceili Dancing For Beginners Workshop - 6:15pm, Emerald Room
Led by Katie Cunningham
Ceili dancing is one of the oldest dance traditions in Ireland. Like contra or even square dancing, the social aspect of this group dance is just as important as the footwork. Bring a friend or make a new one with this introduction to solo and ceili dancing led by Katie Cunningham of the Rince na Tiarna Adult Irish Dance team. No prior dance experience required.
