Join us for an evening of social dancing to live music from Scotland, Ireland and Bulgaria. Mark Irelands patron day and the 10th anniversary of Scotlands first Bulgarian School.
You are welcome to attend, dance or watch along. Trust our Scottish, Irish and Bulgarian dance artists to call the shots and show you the steps. Enjoy this trad dance mash-up set to the live music of our hand-picked cracking band. If this sounds crazy, that's because it is! Don't miss your only chance to enjoy traditional Scottish ceilidh dances such as Gay Gordons and learn traditional Bulgarian and Irish dances at the same time, such as the Danube Horo and the Walls of Limerick. Boom! Come, dance, get involved at a community ceilidh with a difference.
