About CeilidhKids Sessions
CeilidhKids sessions are lively family events where everyone can dance, clap, and march together! Children learn rhythm, movement, confidence, and social skills while adults help guide the little ones.
We dance to recordings of top bands or sometimes to an accordion player. The focus is on fun and staying within your child’s comfort zone. Your child doesn’t even have to let go of your hand if they don’t want to!
Who Can Join?
All ages are welcome! Our sessions are designed for families with children aged 3 and up, as they tend to get the most out of it. However, if you have younger ones, we’d love to have you! Even if your little one needs to be carried, they are welcome to join in the fun.
Dress Code
Dress is casual! T-shirts, fancy dress, kilts, party dresses, and tracksuits are all popular choices. Soft shoes are a good idea—plimsolls work well, and ballet shoes are even better!
