Honestly I felt so nervous! I just didn't know what to expect. I haven't ceili danced since I was a teenager (except for maybe a few drunken incidents - like the time I had the whole crowd on the roof of the La Concha Hotel in Key West doing some set dancing.....and by the whole crowd, I mean the whole crowd - I even had the barman dancing!).
So anyway I decided to give it a go......like what's the worst that could happen?!
As it turns out it wasn't quite a ceili but was in fact an Irish dancing lesson. But the thing about Irish dancing is that it is a lot of fun and you can pick it up so quickly. Everyone was dancing in no time at all.
I can quite honestly say that it was a lot of fun and I look forward to going back very soon.
There was live music and an instructor who did the count as we danced. It was all very organised and well worth going to if you are ever in Dublin City.
As we say here in Ireland "Bain trial as" - Give it a go!
