About the event
Céilí dancing has a long history in Ireland and has been central to socializing and celebrations. This year, the IRL Festival is pleased to host an Adapted Céilí, designed specifically to accommodate dancers of all abilities. We will use traditional Irish music, but with slower tempos, and traditional Irish dance steps, but with modifications to make the dances more accessible. Our céilí caller is Marjorie Hopkins. She has been teaching Irish dance for over a decade and specializes in adaptive Irish dance.
This event is designed for families to dance together and share in the joy that is Irish dance. Dance is for everybody and the IRL Festival extends this invitation to all who long to dance!
Doors open at 1 pm, and dancing will start at 1:30 and include a 15 min break halfway.
Refreshments will be available for purchase.
$10/person
