Reeling and Ceilidh Calling
I call everything from relaxed barn dances, wedding ceilidhs and birthday parties to corporate events and large formal reeling balls.
I tailor the dancing to suit the people in the room. For complete beginners, that means clear instruction and simple, enjoyable dances. For experienced reelers, I can keep the evening moving with as little interruption as possible.
I can work solo with high-quality recorded music, or alongside a live band.
