Originally it was the National Holiday of Ireland, but as a result of the massive migration of Irish people especially to other English speaking countries such as the USA, Canada or Australia, it has become one of the most celebrated festivals not only for Irish people but also for English speakers.\u00a0 Following the Irish tradition and therefore their Gaelic roots all around Ireland and Scotland, students and teachers of 1st BTX have celebrated Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day dancing c\u00e9ilidh, under the expertise and supervision of the artist David Vivancos.<a

Scotland, Ireland and Atlantic Canada. Other spellings encountered<br \/>\nare ceilidh, c\u00e9il\u00ed (Irish reformed spelling) and c\u00e8ilidh (Scottish Gaelic reformed spelling). Before discos and<br \/>\nnightclubs, there were C\u00e9ilidhs in most town and village halls on Friday or Saturday nights; they are still common<br \/>\ntoday.<\/p>\n<p>Originally c\u00e9ilidhs facilitated courting and prospects of marriage for young people and although discos and<br \/>\nnightclubs have displaced c\u00e9ilidhs to a considerable extent, c\u00e9ilidhs are very popular in rural parts of Ireland and in<br \/>\nScotland (especially in the Gaelic-speaking west coast regions).<\/p>\n<p>It is common for some clubs and institutions such as sports clubs, schools and universities and even employers to<br \/>\narrange c\u00e9ilidhs on a regular or at least annual basis. The formality of these can vary. Some mix modern pop music<br \/>\nwith a Scottish country dancing band and dress codes range from compulsory Highland Dress to informal clothing.<br \/>\nKnowledge and use of the basic dance steps is not always strictly necessary and dances often alternate with songs,<br \/>\npoetry recitals, and story telling.<\/p>\n<p>C\u00e9ilidh music is often provided by an assortment of fiddle, accordion, flute, tin whistle, pipes, bodhr\u00e1n (Irish drum)<br \/>\nand in more recent times also percussion and electric bass guitar. The music is cheerful and lively and the basic steps<br \/>\ncan be learned easily; a short instructional session is often provided for new dancers before the start of the dance itself.<br \/>\nThe general format for c\u00e9ilidh dancing is a \u2018Set\u2019 (line of couples facing their partners). Square set dances also exist.<br \/>\nHowever, about half of the dances in the modern Scots c\u00e9ilidh are couple dances performed in a ring. These can be<br \/>\nperformed by fixed couples or in the more sociable &#8220;progressive&#8221; manner, with the lady moving to the next gentleman<br \/>\nin the ring at or near the end of each repetition of the steps.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 15 years, the Scottish public c\u00e9ilidh seems to have grown again in popularity amongst young people. Since<br \/>\nthen a subculture in some Scottish cities has evolved where some people attend c\u00e9ilidhs on a regular basis and at the<br \/>\nc\u00e9ilidh they find out from the other dancers when and where the next c\u00e9ilidh will be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Privately organised c\u00e9ilidhs:<\/strong><br \/>\nThese bands vary in size, although they are commonly made up of between 2 and 6<br \/>\nplayers. The appeal of the Scottish c\u00e9ilidh is by no means limited to the younger generation and dances vary in speed<br \/>\nand complexity in order to accommodate most age groups and levels of ability.<br \/>\nSome c\u00e9ilidh bands intersperse c\u00e9ilidh dancing with a DJ playing disco music in order to broaden the appeal of the<br \/>\nevening&#8217;s entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Modern c\u00e9ilidh dancing generally includes a mixture of four styles: Scottish country dancing, Old time dancing,<br \/>\nBallroom dancing and International folk dances.<br \/>\nare also extremely common now and bands are often hired to play at dances held to<br \/>\ncelebrate weddings and birthdays.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial black, sans-serif\">Celebrate Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day dancing c\u00e9ilidh, singing and speaking English with your friends all over the world.
