this looks like so much fun, i wish i could be there 😭

We always had this one at the school Christmas party in England.

Remember getting this taugh in the School

Great tunes here! It was also instructive seeing how the nearest set kept taking too long over the basket and not leaving time for the second couple to do it!

Always a fun dance and I do understand how exuberance causes some dancers to get carried away, but some of these turns were lucky not to result in injury.

What is the name of the song ?

U ain't gtn in if u ain't wearing denim jeans 😂😂😂😂

this is reather like the irish seage of ennis

I like it ❤

love the music --played it for twenty years ------------hate dancing!

Highly entertaining!

Thanks! 🙂😎

This is the one I remember.

The trauma from getting spun into the popular girls group 😭

Just watched Danny Boyd’s description of a ceilidh dance😊

It's the only Scottish dance I remember how to do! My party piece when I've had a couple too many!! I did my high school years there and come the end of term/Christmas..for the disco/dance..we had to learn it...8-some reels.....Strip the Widows....(sorry..muso's joke) Willow...etc.. I had wonderful , amazing music teachers.......but when It came to dancing...that was left up to the P.E. Dept!!!! Boys on the left!...Girls on the right!..........we did what we were told to .........then............"Take a partner!!" There was a chaotic movement...like cockroaches scuttling out of sight when you come home late at night and switch the lights on. Some guys moved in like bees to pollen....and some of us flies ended up with shit. But, in some of the dances with the house lights up......we could swril and swirl around....swap partners..(???) and maybe..just maybe.....you could have your arm around the waist of Elizabeth xxxxx...or ..Vivien xxxxxxxx.....or Carol xxxxxxx , (out of bounds..her boyfriend was 19!!) Big League......oh the list could go on.......a brief encounter with that girl......a few stumbled steps, plukes(pimples) and bad breath...that was that!!! Good memories Thanks for posting. love and peace from Kaapstad.

Anyone here a Scottish person that still hates that they had to do this in school 😭😭 I still hate it to this day

I miss dances in the Teviot ❤️

Very fond memories of being at a Ceilidh. So much fun!!

Went to Scotland for my university, and absolutely fell in love with ceilidh dances.

Embarrassed where's the pipes and passion

This is my dad! He’s awesome!

Well done Mummy (in the red dress) for tutoring her daughter. By the time, the wee bairn gets to College, she will have the lads queuing up for the next dance with her.

Hi everyone, Im Mr carrot, I LOVE this dance

Are there ceilgh championchip?

I always wanted to learn it properly but some people say u just learn on the spot or not and thats what makes it so fun ? Born south of the border but lived in highlands 30 years finally started latin an ballroom classes its fun too its all good ide say lets hope the Scots english irish and welsh and cornish can retain our culture over the next 50 years ? I hope so weve all come through so much just to give it away ? Stay happy be close to nature and music

Genial

Can someone tell me what riverside jig is where can i get that song from that dance?

It looks like so much fun!

These guys played at our wedding in 2019 - loved them!

Fantastic. Fairly tramping along!

Nice 👏 👏 👏

I visited Glasgow 3 years ago for ab Erasmus project and the locals took us to a Ceilidh dancing. I usually dislike dancing, but that was one of the best and funniest nights in my life. 11/10 would come back to dance again!

I'm getting dizzy just watching.

This is fun to do.

Resembles "Contra" dancing in the US.
