Ceilidhs: The Perfect Ice-Breaker for Any Party
Whether you are planning a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a corporate get-together, nothing gets a crowd mixing and moving quite like a traditional Scottish Ceilidh. Unlike formal Reeling, which often requires prior knowledge of the dances, a Ceilidh led by John is all about jumping in and having fun, regardless of experience.
What to Expect
John specialises in calling Ceilidhs that are energetic, inclusive, and strictly informal. The focus is on ensuring every single guest feels comfortable on the dance floor. John will walk you through every step before the music starts, calling the moves as you dance to ensure no one is left behind.
Absolute Beginners Welcome: No previous dancing experience is needed. John’s clear and encouraging instruction makes even the most complex-looking figures easy to master in minutes.
High Energy, Low Stress: We leave the technical footwork for the Reeling balls. This is about laughter, energy, and spinning your partner until you are both dizzy.
Tailored to Your Event: From the Dashing White Sergeant to the Eightsome Reel, John can curate a set list that matches the vibe of your evening, whether you want a short burst of dancing before dinner or a full night on the floor.
Why Choose a Ceilidh?
A Ceilidh is the ultimate leveller. It brings together generations, friends, and colleagues who might otherwise never interact. It is fast, furious, and guaranteed to leave your guests with a smile on their face.
