Cleveland Ceili Dancers to grace city hall
for Mayor Frank G. Jackson's
Arts & Culture Initiative

at
6:15 PM
in the
Rotunda of Cleveland City Hall

Mayor Frank G. Jackson's Arts & Culture Initiative welcomes the Cleveland Ceili Dancers on Monday evening before City Council. A Ceili (kaylee) is an Irish dancing session and the Cleveland Ceili Dancers do what is called set dancing. A set is a square (four couples) and the dancing is similar to square dancing but involves Irish music and Irish calls. This group has been meeting weekly since 1993 and is open to anyone who wants to learn. Practices are on Tuesday evenings at St. Clarence Church in North Olmsted. More information will be available in the Rotunda of City Hall during the performance.
