CELTIC TEA SOCIAL

The month of March is made for wishing upon lucky four leaf clovers, along with listening and dancing to joyous Irish and Scottish tunes! Join us for our Celtic Tea Social, a long-time favorite in our community of dancers.

An engaging event featuring an afternoon of historical dances designed for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. Immerse yourself in a world of lively music, delightful tea, scrumptious noshes, and the warmth of newfound friendships. Whether you're taking your first steps in this type of dance or seeking new challenges, our dance party promises an unforgettable experience for all!

COSTUMES? ONLY IF YOU WISH!
Though many dancers enjoy wearing the lovely costumes for this event, there are always friends in modern casual dress. We subscribe to the popular phrase, “Costumes admired but not required.”

IMPORTANT COSTUME NOTE:
If you choose to wear a costume please be certain you can move easily in your costume and do not wear anything that would impede you, or others, while dancing. Please note dresses that trail on the ground are not allowed as they impede dancing for all. High heels are not recommended for this style of dance.

Whether you are brand new or LOVE this style of dancing, Tuesday nights in Pasadena is where you learn the skills to dance with elegance and ease! It’s a great mid-week pick-me-up with dance friends old and new.
Plan on sticking around for after-hours socializing and getting the latest details on a favorite dance, the next ball, or that costume question you always wanted to ask.
