I went to my first Ceilidh! It was right down the street from Richmond Place (where I live)--which was convenient considering it was freezing outside and I had on a halter dress! The Ceilidh is a traditional Scottish dancing event, which can be an informal event or competitive. Some of the most popular Ceilidh dances are 'Strip the Willow' and 'The Gay Gordons'. Some of them are really complicated and some quite simple. Thankfully, at most informal Ceilidhs, there is someone up front (called a 'caller') with a mic explaining the dance steps to the crowd before the dance actually begins.
