What's the difference between a Ceili and a Ceili Mor?
Ceili
We dance to taped music and practice what we've learned in Tuesday lessons. All are welcome. On Ceili Fridays, we dance from 7:30 to 9:30p / $5 donation.
Ceili Mor
We pull out all the stops! Live music, tea time, and DANCING! All are welcome - but be warned that these dances can move fast! On Ceili Mor Fridays, we have newcomer lessons from 7:00 to 8:00p followed by dancing from 8:00 to 11:00p / $10 donation.
