My approach to calling is simple: dancing reels or ceilidhs should be fun, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. Whether you are planning a wedding ceilidh for guests who have never danced before, or a prestigious Ball for seasoned reelers, my job is to ensure everyone feels confident on the floor. I don't just call the moves; I guide the room with clarity and humour, making sure the steps are understood so your guests can focus on the party, not the panic!
Don’t just take my word for it
