Welcome to the vibrant world of Toronto Irish Set Dancing! We are thrilled to introduce ourselves as the newest addition to Toronto’s rich cultural tapestry. Our journey began in the spring of 2023 when a passionate group of dancers came together with a shared love for Irish culture and dance. Inspired by the legacies of groups like Reel Blast and Open Door Ceilidhs, who paved the way before us, we aim to uphold and celebrate the spirited tradition of Irish set dancing in our community.
Irish set dancing isn’t just about the dance itself; it’s about forging connections and creating memories. It’s a lively social activity where strangers become friends and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a curious beginner, there’s a place for you in our group. We believe in the joy of movement, the thrill of mastering new steps, and the camaraderie that comes from dancing together.
As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in experiencing the infectious rhythm and joy of Irish set dancing. Keep an eye on our website and social media channels for updates on classes, workshops, and upcoming events. Let’s continue the tradition, create new memories, and dance our way into the hearts of Toronto together!

All ages and experience are welcome to join in! Lots of activities to celebrate Samhain!
Samhain is the ancient Celtic origins of Hallowe’en and the time of year when the division between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through. For hundreds of years, people have been dressing in disguise (now costumes) to distract and confuse the spirits. We highly encourage attendees to dress up and enjoy the traditions of Samhain with us!
Join us for fun Samhain activities starting with a kids ceili at 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm, as well as traditional Samhain crafts!
Regular ceili starting at 8 p.m. with a wee break for some old Samhain stories with Ciaran Myers.
Get ready to enjoy delicious soup, fresh rolls, tasty concessions, and a fully stocked bar—all available for purchase!
The Grand River Ceili Band will play live as our caller walks you through the dances. Wear comfy shoes, bring a reusable water bottle, and get ready for some good craic!
Advance adult tickets are $22, and youth 5 – 17 years are $10. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $30 (adult), and children/youth 5-18 years old are $14. Kids under 5 are free.
