Ceilidh Circle Dance

Dancers join hands to form one large circle facing inward.

On the caller's instruction, the whole circle walks or skips a set number of steps to the left, then the same number back to the right.

Dancers then move into the center of the circle together, raising joined hands, and step back out again.

Partners turn briefly by linking one or both hands before returning to the circle formation.

The caller repeats and varies these figures in time with the music until the tune ends.
