Expert Reeling and Ceilidh Calling - it’s what I do!

I like to keep things simple: reeling and ceilidh dancing should be fun, relaxed, and easy to enjoy. Whether it’s a wedding ceilidh for guests who’ve never danced before, or a formal ball for experienced reelers, my job is to guide the room clearly and calmly so everyone feels confident on the floor and can enjoy the evening properly.
