This is suitable for all fun-loving people, including first-timers. You don't need to do the dances "right", you just have to be ready to give it a try (and ready for a laugh). We demonstrate, practice and call dances to suit the overall crowd - and there are always experienced dancers to follow.
A Laldie Ceilidh is intense, relentless and sweaty traditional dance fun. Come along in a group, come along with a partner, come along on your own - there are lots of opportunities for mixing and dancing with other people. That's part of ceilidh culture.
Licensed Bar (cashless). Doors open 7:30pm, dancing from 8pm, ends 11pm.
Note that tickets are on sale both at the venue's website https://assemblyroxy.com/whats-on and at Eventbrite. These are separate ticket allocations. One source may sell out before the other.
