Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.

In the fine Irish tradition of the Ceili, Erin Feis 2007 invites you to our first-ever Irish Street Dance. It’s easy and fun to join in! Dance steps are called from the stage, and experienced dancers will be on the dance floor to show you how it’s done. Not a dancer? Come watch the fun from the sidelines and enjoy the music provided by a jam session of our festival musicians. Friday, August 24 8 p.m. A Ceili is a social gathering of folks, both young and old, a party, basically, where everyone dances (often with no "caller"). It is a festive occasion that includes music making, (fiddle, box, flute, tin whistle, etc.) singing, reciting a favorite meaningful poem. Some like telling a story or showing off their dance steps. It definitly includes a little food - some bread - and a bit of drink - tea or home made brew. The picture you clicked on "Dancing At The Crossroads" represents a time in Irish history when dancing was prohibited by the English. The Irish would meet on country roads, often where the roads crossed. They would bring food, drink, and music while watching out for the British soldiers. They danced their country dances, the ceili dances and set dances we dance today. We look forward to seeing many of you come and join us for this festive fun!!
