- This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! We dance to live music! It is the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Appalachia and America! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!

All three of us play in various concert and dance bands, including Wild Notes (John and Mickey) and The Wee Merry Banshees (Liz and Mickey).

- Role terms are: “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men) but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.
