SHOCC Dances:  English Ceilidh in the South
A Ceilidh series in South Hampshire for the South of England. 

English Ceilidh (pronounced kaylee) is a lively, energetic and upbeat version of English barn or country dancing, suitable for all ages.  Bands play exciting music with good rhythmic drive from a variety of musical traditions, including rock, jazz, world and roots music as well as English, Scottish and Irish folk music.  A caller guides novices and experienced dancers alike through each of the dances: you can turn up and have fun with no prior knowledge of what is going to happen.  Wear comfortable shoes or trainers and cool clothing: although the hall is air-conditioned you get quite warm whilst dancing.  

English ceilidh is social dancing at its best.  Come with a partner, a group of friends or on your own - there will be plenty of people to dance with.  Most dances are for sets of couples rather than just a couple on their own.  

Times
Doors Open at 19.15 for a 19.30 start.
Dances finish at 23.00. 

There will be a 20 minute or so break partway through the evening.  Bring your own (alcoholic) drink, tap water will be available.

Come prepared to enjoy yourself and have a great evening.
