"we're having two nights of NuCeilidh, which is like a combination of the best bits of social dance with the best bits of ceilidh "

I like the sound of this.

Social dance used to be lively, with stepping, and done largely by young people. Much of that has been lost as it's drifted towards an older person's activity and the younger people have gone elsewhere.

It will be interesting to see how it's pitched - in a club it's not unknown to do the same dance two or three times to get it right, which wouldn't work for a ceilidh, but it's no fun a ceilidh to spend a whole dance just playing catch-up to what you should be doing next.

Are the bands/callers lined up or do we have to wait for the flyer? And are workshops being offered?
