Irish Dancers
Irish Dancers
The Sydney Irish Ceili Dancers have been in operation for 55 years. The dancers have kept alive all facets of the traditional dancing of Ireland - this includes solo step dancing, couples dances, Ceili or figure dancing and Set dancing.
When performing for weddings it is possible to book a half set (two couples) or a full set (four couples). Within these groups of dancers there will be solo step dancers so there would be a great variety of dancing performed.
The principals of the group, Margaret & Bill Winnett, are well known in the Irish dance scene and regularly teach workshops and 'call' for public dances. In the past we have had wedding guests up and taking part in Irish dancing and enjoying themselves immensely.
Anything is possible!
Live music can be arranged to accompany the dancers, otherwise they dance to pre-recorded music.
Our dancers have done both corporate and charity work as well as performances at many festivals in New South Wales and the ACT.
Their many performances include -
Sydney Royal Easter Show
