Birthday Ceilidh 1st March 2014
"You were fabulous on Saturday evening for our birthday celebrations at Ipplepen
Village Hall. The majority of my guests were unfamiliar with a ceilidh let alone
the dancing but the atmosphere you created encouraged almost all of them at some
point up onto the dance floor. Everyone so appreciated the brilliant music and
special thanks, of course, to Debs for her patience and clarity in explaining
the steps. I had so many comments about the quality of your work. If you need
any more recommendations - which you probably don't - let me know!"

be it sets of four or eight, circle and square formations, Jigs, Reels and
Do-Se-Dos."
