Celeidgh

(And yes that is how you spell it, I believe. (It's pronounced "KAY-lee"))

Tenth had a Celeidgh tonight. A Celeidgh is a Irish or Gaelic evening of dancing. It was really fun and I don't think I have ever sweated so much while having such a good time. We did all sorts of dances, in some of which I actually understood what I was doing.
I now understand why all the girls in Pride and Prejudice (and other such novels) always loved going to balls; it is very fun to do something with such a large group of others. What I can't figure out is how on earth they managed to dance in floor-length dresses with corsets. Oh, well, I suppose that they, actually knowing how to do them, were much more graceful and therefore used up less energy...
Well, all in all, I enjoyed it immensely and I hope very much that they do it again.
