Come join us for a summer evening of fun in La Mesa at our Scottish Ceilidh Dance! The dance is on July 12, 2024 at the La Mesa Adult Enrichment Center, 8450 La Mesa Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942. The dance starts at 7:00 pm, with light refreshments after. Donate what you like, suggested donation is $5. Cash and Venmo accepted at the door.
This event is designed for beginners and we are super excited to welcome new dancers. There are no expectations, no special equipment or clothes, and a partner is not required — it’s just for fun! Mistakes are part of the experience! We welcome dancers of all abilities and fitness levels. Come by yourself or feel free to bring along friends! No experience necessary!
This dancing is social Scottish Dancing, something like square dancing with a Scottish flare! Each dance will be walked through and called by our friendly host. Ceilidh Dancing is less formal than Scottish Country Dancing. If you’ve been considering giving Scottish Country Dancing a try, this is the perfect night to dip your toes in!
What to Wear: The most important thing is to be comfortable, wear shoes and clothes you can move in. Please bring clean, soft-soled shoes, non-marking flat shoes (no heels). Do not wear flip-flops, loose sandals or stiff, ballroom dance style shoes. You want a shoe with a flexible sole that isn’t clunky. A simple flat-sole sneaker will work. For clothing, men wear pants, shorts, or a kilt! Ladies often wear skirts or dresses, but they’re not required. Be comfortable!
Parking: The La Mesa Adult Enrichment Center is located at 8450 La Mesa Blvd, La Mesa, CA 91942. Look for our banner out in front of the center! The primary parking lot is located off University Ave, with overflow parking available at the softball field across University Ave, with the entrance off Memorial Drive.
