Fall Céilí Dance

Riley School is pleased to again present a Céilí Dance this Fall Quarter. Come dance with us.
Invite your family and friends, and share our Facebook Event

A céilí is a social gathering, which historically might include sharing stories, songs, and poems as well as dancing. In recent years the céilí has focused more on dancing, and specific céilí dances and styles of céilí dance have developed.

festival performance

Our céilí will be led by a caller - Allison Duvall of the McTeggart Irish Dancers - who will teach dances and help dancers keep track of what to do. Most dances are performed in sets (like square dances) or lines (like contra dances) rather than individual partner dances.

Live music for dancing will be provided by the Riley School's own Céilí Band, led by Rick Boyce.

We ask dancers to bring snacks to share; we will take a break after an hour or so to eat, then dance some more!
