Ceilidh's are Celtic, not American, so most music featured at a Ceilidh is not generally American, but is Irish or Scottish. That said, we understand that many of you are not familiar with our culture or music, so we will be taking requests for American music, but these spots are limited and will be played at the discretion of the DJ.

What Kind of Dancing is at a Ceilidh?
Dancing at Ceilidh's are primarily:
  • Reels & Jigs
  • Swing
  • Waltz
  • Club Dancing

Country Swing Dancing is very popular in Ireland & Scotland so many of the songs played will be able to be danced this style. 
Learn to Irish & Scottish Dance:
We will be dancing The Gay Gordon's, a traditional Scottish Ceilidh Dance, and The Siege of Ennis, a traditional Irish Ceilidh Dance. Both dances will be played at least 2-3x the night of the event. We will also be dancing the Virginia Reel as we are Americans and this dance is a classic!
