In response to COVID19 we’ve planning to adapt more mini performance/participatory pieces that can arrive at people’s doorsteps and spread a bit of joy and distraction to a neighbourhood. Have a look at this short film from August 2020 to find out more, and get in touch to find out how we can bring it to your area.

 Ceilidh Jam Pop Ups — performance & interactive workshops

“As a fellow dancer I really appreciated the flowing movement and was a touch jealous at the sheer sinuous ability of all the dancers. The beatbox was wonderful, it added a modern touch to some age old traditional elements woven into the show, and counter balanced by a driving fiddle that I would love to morris dance to! A wonderful mix of old and new that was a delight to watch and well done for bringing that mix to an appreciative audience.” Quinton Cumbes, Squire of Great Western Morris

Ceilidh Jam Pop Ups can happen anywhere and instantly gather a crowd and gets them dancing in no time! Two or more of our dancers demonstrate a Ceilidh dance that has been remixed with some street dance moves—with our live music the audience find the catchy tunes irresistible and are eager to join in and learn the moves. They last from 10-20 minutes depending on the event.
