The web master for  this site is Hugh W. Conway.  He can be reached at 703-273-6869 or Ceiliset @ Yahoo.com.  He also leads the set dance class on Tuesday nights thru the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department.   The classes are held at the Green Acres Center, at 4401 Sideburn Road, Fairfax Virginia, 22030.  Classes run from August until May.  Each week during the year we reviewed or learned a different dance.
  When the class meets outside of the Green Acres Center for parties or ceilis, , it is called the Tuesday Night Ceili Club.

The  class will meet Tuesday, May 24th, for the last time until August.

 Driving  to the Tuesday night class at Green Acres Center can be tricky.  Sideburn Road has limited access.   Access from cross streets  have been closed.  If driving north on Rte. 123,  travel to Armstrong Street, turn right and travel two streets over to Sideburn Road.  Turn right.  Follow Sideburn until it ends at Green Acres.  If traveling south on Rte. 123, turn left on Armstrong, travel to Sideburn, and turn right. Continue on until you reach the center.

This web site  is a guide to set and ceili dancing classes and ceilis (a party with music, dancing and conversation) in the Maryland, DC and northern Virginia area.  Ceili, which is pronounced as "Keili" is a version of the  Irish Gaelic word "Ceilidh" .  Examples of ceili and set dancing can be found on Youtube channel "ceili308".
