E-ceilidh (with Ceilidh being pronounced 'kaylee') is a more riotous and eclectic variation on English folk barn or country dancing. Simple folk dances done with high energy to driving live music.

Originating in France the balfolk dance phenomenon has swept the European continent and is now taking root in Australia. A modern take on traditional folk styles balfolk creates meaningful connections through shared joy in music and dance.
