Thread Name: Ceilidh vs. Folk Dance: why the rivalry?
Subject: RE: Ceilidh vs. Folk Dance: why the rivalry?
A few years ago when the sword team I am with were booked to dance at Whitby fest our 'evening dance spot' was at a 'dancers dance' and after out performance a lady came up to me and said "I come from Southport & i'm surprised i've never come upon you before" I replied with "well we've only been going for 35yrs" and then thought for a second or two and said " perhaps it's because we drink beer & you drink tea" to which she replied " oh yes that must be it".
Nuf said!
Cheers
