The Old School Band’s dance callers are vastly experienced and will ensure that everyone enjoys the evening. We believe it is important to get as many people involved as possible and unless otherwise informed we assume no prior knowledge of ceilidh dancing. That said, if you have a special dance you would like, just ask the dance caller, who will be happy to oblige.

We usually start the evening with easy dances that everyone can join in, maybe progressing to something a little more adventurous later in the evening if everybody feels like it. The emphasis is always on having a go and enjoyment.

Typical dances include Gay Gordons, Lucky Seven, Circassian Circle, Oxo Reel, Dashing White Sergeant, Cumberland Square Eight, Bridge of Athlone, Foula Reel and, of course, waltzes.
