Timetable: Ceilidhs
The calling/teaching style for each ceilidh and folk dance event is specified in its event description.
- The code (P) indicates that an event will be called/taught positionally (i.e., emphasising patterns, flow and relationships between dancers, e.g., neighbour, opposite, people facing the windows, first corners, and using those ideas rather than role terms).
- The code (G) indicates that an event will be called/taught with some use of gendered role terms (e.g., men/women, ladies/gents).
- The code (A) indicates that an event will be called/taught with some use of nongendered role terms (e.g., larks/robins or, for some couple dances, lead/follow) instead."
