Hello class!


At long last, here is a video! Please check out the Three Tunes, as danced by the Claddagh School (California).

Many of their counts and some of their movements are different, so don't go about memorizing the intricacies. You can use this as a tool to help you remember what we've learned in class.


Here is a video of the Four-Hand Reel, as danced by the Culkin Adults, who are under the instruction of Megan Moloney & Sean Culkin. Megan was our visitor to class a few weeks back.

Here is another school from Eastern Canada performing the Four-Hand Reel. For those of you who have learned the "First Figure," a.k.a. "Figure of Eight and Rings of Three," you won't see it here! They're performing the Second Figure, which is called the Ladies' Chain.

And, finally, the High-Cauled Cap as performed by Scoil Rince ni Chearra O Baolain. This video is part of master teacher Olive Hurley's series on the ceili dances. The team is very good - neat, clean, and polished. They also dance the High-Cauled Cap in its entirety. It is a 10 minute dance, making it the longest ceili dance in "the book."
