IRISH DANCES & "OLDE TYME" SQUARES!
Friends! For the final event of what has been a wonderful season of dances, we have something different for you: two callers with two very different styles.
Familiar Irish céilí dances will be called by Caroline Wathier, and we also welcome Shirley Anne Smyth, who will bring us "Olde Tyme" square dances. Shirley Anne is a member of the Canadian Olde Tyme Square Dance Callers Association and has 30 years of experience square dancing and calling.
If you've ever danced québécois "set carrés", you'll feel right at home with square dances. If you haven't, don't worry: Shirley Anne is an excellent caller and will guide you expertly through the dances - which are a LOT of fun.
Plus, the Siamsa Céilí Band is breaking new ground, preparing new sets of tunes to add to the excitement.
Our regular caller, Bill White, is out of town on May 31, but will be back with us in September!
Everything you need to know
The céilí will be held in the St. George's Anglican Church parish hall,
1101 Stanley Street, Montreal, from 7:30pm until 11:30pm.
Public transport
The hall is close to Bonaventure metro station, Peel metro station, or the REM terminus at Central Station.
We recommend walking from Bonaventure metro station, taking the "1000 de la Gauchetière" exit.
Sadly, for reasons of safety, the tunnel leading to the Windsor Station exit is to be avoided.
