- **Event Description**: Come and enjoy an evening of dance and socialising in Geelong West! The Geelong Ceilidh band, as well as Shane Lestideau and Friends, will provide live Celtic music with dances called by the one-and-only Una McAlinden.

Pronounced “kay-lee”, a ceilidh is more than just a dance, it’s a traditional social gathering centred around music and group dancing. The word itself comes from the Gaelic for “gathering” or “party”, and while the format may have evolved over time, the energy remains the same. Expect lively reels, jigs and strathspeys, all led by a Caller who walks dancers through the steps. No experience is necessary – it’s not about perfection, it’s about participation.

Ceilidhs often feature a live band playing a variety of instruments including the fiddle, accordion, flute, guitar and piano. Dancers take to the floor to join in dances such as the Dashing White Sergeant, Strip the Willow, Eightsome Reel and Gay Gordons, each of which have their own unique style and steps.

With infectious rhythms and easy to follow patterns, ceilidhs are one of the most exhilarating ways to experience Scottish and Irish culture. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned dancer, you’re welcome to join in the fun!
