Irish Ceili Dance Party (Book + CD Bundle)
£17.50
Book:
20 Tracks from different selection and with 32 and 48 bar dances.
CD:
The Irish love of dancing is well known (i.e. River Dance) but most of their dances are too complicated for beginners.
They call their country dances 'Set Dances' and are danced mainly in squares and in two couples facing two couples formations (Seige of Ennis).
Apart from 'The Wave of Tory' and 'The Bridge of Athlone' most barn dance and country dance callers just use their toe-tapping tunes to lighten up their own choice of dances.
