Year 13 Ceilidh with Tonbridge

An evening of Scottish dancing at Tonbridge School

Year 13 headed to Tonbridge Boys’ School for a Ceilidh – a traditional Scottish dance. The event was a great success and Year 13 student Trinity reflected on the evening:

"After music and singing (and an impromptu bathroom stop) on the way up, we arrived at Tonbridge and had drinks and snacks.

The caller of the Ceilidh, Liz, was very enthusiastic and excited to  get going, so we got into pairs/ groups and started dancing. It was slightly chaotic but really fun, and, as the night went on, we settled into dancing, learning things like the do-si-do and American Square dance, among others.

The night went far too quickly, and we'd all have liked to stay longer, or go back again!"
