Cindy Matyi Memorial Céilí
A céilí is a social gathering, which historically might include sharing stories, songs, and poems as well as dancing. In recent years céilís have focused more on dancing and specific céilí dances and styles of céilí dance have developed. This céilí will be led by Allison Duvall of McTeggart Irish Dance. Allison will teach dances and help dancers keep track of what to do. Most dances are performed in sets (like square dances) or lines (like contra dances) rather than individual partner dances. The first hour from 4-5 PM will offer instruction for less experienced dancers; from 5-7 will be a more traditional dance. We ask dancers to bring snacks to share. Live music for dancing will be provided by the Riley School’s own Céilí Band. All ages and experience levels are welcome!
This céilí is presented jointly by the Riley School of Irish Music and the Irish Heritage Center in honor of our dear friend Cindy Matyi. The céilí is funded in part by Cindy’s family and the Little Town Foundation, which Cindy began. Cindy was the Riley School’s first singing, flute and whistle teacher. She mentored and supported students of all ages, and continues to inspire us with her beautiful and intricate artwork, some of which will be on display during the céilí.
