Other activities
Opening night at the Dubliner, Thursday 14.08.
We have the pleasure of quicking off the summer school with a social gathering at The Dubliner Folk Pub. We will then continue the rest of the evening with a mighty session.
More details to come!
Ceili introduction and Ceili night, Friday 15.08. 18:00/19:00
Friday night is ceili night!
Tickets will come for sale soon.
A ceili is a social night of group dances, music, and loads of fun. There is usually a ceili caller who will choose the dances and prompt the dancers as they are dancing. That way, everybody can join – even if you don’t know the dance.
We’re so lucky to have Åse Kristine Waglen as our ceili caller. If you want a crash course in ceili dancing before we start, there will be a ceili introduction first.
The ceili will take place in P1 on the 4+ floor of Sentralen.
Tickets for the ceili and the crash course will be available soon.
Teachers' concert, Saturday 16.08. 19:00
Get ready for some Saturday night magic as the summer school teachers strike it up on Saturday night!
