- Do I need to bring a partner? -No! Everyone finds their dancing partners on the night from fellow guests.
- Do I need to ask you if I want to bring a friend? -No! Just turn up. The more the merrier! However, if you are bringing a big party we recommend you arrive early.
- I've never reeled before. Can I come? -Yes. We teach at the beginning of the evening and you are most welcome. Do remember that the second part of the evening is untaught- we suggest you partner yourself with someone who knows what they're doing!
- I'm about to go to a ball or wedding. Which reels do you do? We dance the most popular reels such as the Eightsome, Foursome and Mairi's Wedding.
- Do I need to book? -No! Just come along.
- What’s the dress code? We don’t have a dress code; many people come straight from work. Wearing a kilt does lead to a discount on the entry price, though. However, it can get quite warm, so many people change into something a bit cooler than work clothes.
- Do I need special shoes?- No. However, so as not to damage the hall floor, please don’t wear spike or sharp heels, or shoes with marking soles.
