Loch Maree & Slioch<\/p>\n

We had a fun Ceilidh dance at the beginning of the year but we were missing a lot of you.\u00a0 Alison taught some great dances and everyone enjoyed themselves.\u00a0 Just a pity you were not there.<\/p>\n

The next Ceilidh dance in the last Friday of February which normally would be the last day of the month but 2020 is a leap year so Friday, February 28 is the date of the dance.\u00a0 I hope this gives you enough time to plan on joining us for what will be a fun evening of dance, laughter, good company, fantastic music and exercise.<\/p>\n

Scottish country dance classes have started up again – you can check the location and times of all the classes on the Ceilidh dance website or at rscdsvancouver.org – you never know it just might be your thing!<\/p>\n

Loch Kinord<\/p>\n

Tell people about the ceilidh dances, how much fun they are, how reasonable, the fact that you don’t need to know anything or need a partner, how patient the teacher is and what a great band we have.<\/p>\n

Word of mouth really is the best form of advertising and we ask you all to help us.\u00a0 This will be an excellent way to work off these extra grams and clear your head so please do come along – it really is a fun evening.<\/p>\n

Castle Campbell<\/p>\n

The hall has been booked for another season of Ceilidh Dances.\u00a0 The dates are:
\nFebruary 28; March 27 & April 24 that is the last Friday of the month.<\/p>\n

You can help by coming along to the Ceilidh dances, by bringing friends (and enemies!) by telling people about the Ceilidh Dances, by bringing a group of 8 or more so that you all qualify for a discount of $1 each.\u00a0 No partner or experience required and remember if you claim to have two left feet we’ll show you how to use the right one!<\/p>\n

Holy Isle<\/p>\n

The next Ceilidh Dance is the Friday, February 28th.\u00a0 The dance will follow the usual format with the “class” from 7 – 8 pm and the dance, with Calanais providing the music, from 8 – 11 pm.\u00a0\u00a0Mark your calendars NOW!\u00a0 \u00a0Even if you can’t make it in time for the class; come to the dance, it is lots of fun.<\/p>\n

If you have a group of 8 or more, then everyone in your group qualifies for $1 discount off the amazingly low admission price of $15 ($10 for students).\u00a0 You have to let everyone in your group know the password you have chosen which you then relay to me (www.ceilidh@rscdsvancouver.org<\/a>) before midnight on the Wednesday preceding the dance, that way you do not all have to arrive together.<\/p>\n

There are refreshments\/drinks (including beer, cider, juice, etc.) available for a donation\u00a0\u00a0 So apart from the fun, exercise and great music of Scottish Ceilidh dancing there is all the ingredients for a great evening.<\/p>\n

No need to be scared if you don’t know how – we will teach you and you won’t be the only newbie.\u00a0 You will be a star before the night is out.\u00a0 Make it a date – it will be a night you won’t forget.<\/p>\n

Rannoch Moor<\/p>\n

For those new to ceilidh dancing the class is a great introduction to Scottish Country dancing and you will soon find out you are not the only one who does not know their left from right or back from front!!\u00a0 We teach everything and the dance follows the same format.\u00a0 Everything is very relaxed so you don’t have to worry about anything.\u00a0 If you can walk; you can dance.\u00a0 Wear flat<\/strong> comfy shoes and loose, layered clothing as it is warm work reeling and spinning.<\/p>\n

What is a Ceilidh dance? It is informal, easy Scottish Country dancing in a relaxed style for all ages. We teach everything, no experience or partner required just a desire to have fun an ability to move to the wonderful beat of the lively music and to enjoy the company of other like-minded folk.<\/p>\n
