Seniors Adapted Céilí

October 16 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for an Inclusive Céilí designed especially for participants aged 55 and over. This event celebrates movement, music, and community in a fully accessible environment where everyone can take part, including those using walkers or wheelchairs. No prior dance experience is needed. Come willing to move, listen, and enjoy being together. Comfortable shoes are highly recommended!

 

 

Led by Marjorie Hopkins, an experienced céilí caller with over a decade of teaching Irish dance and special training in adaptive, inclusive dancing that meets participants where they are. Dances will be thoughtfully modified so that all attendees can participate comfortably, whether dancing standing or with mobility supports.

 

 

Traditional Irish music will set the rhythm as we gather to dance and connect. Céilí dancing has always been about community rather than performance, and this inclusive event honours that tradition by ensuring that everyone has a place on the floor.

 

 

Doors will open at 2:00 pm for folks to get settled, with dancing starting at 2:30 pm.

 

 

Tickets are PWYC (Pay-What-You-Can) with a suggested amount of $15. The amount can be added by clicking the box to the right of the ticket at the bottom of the page.

 

 

Tickets will be available at the door (subject to availability), and concessions will be available for purchase.

 

 

Limited parking will be available in the church lot, and additional parking can be found at the KPL lot on Queen st, across from Centre in the Square and next to the Queen Margaret building.
