A kayleigh is a lively Scottish dance that they do a lot at weddings and parties (while drinking heavily). My coworkers had grown up practicing these dances for exercise in gym class - trust me they are a real cardiovascular workout!
Wikipedia's definition of a kayleigh: In modern usage, a céilidh or ceilidh /ˈkeɪli/ is a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. It originated from Ireland andScotland, but is now common throughout the Irish and Scottish diasporas
Luckily, my co-workers were very helpful in telling Jared and I when to spin, do a do-si-do, change directions and then run with our arms locked together over a line of 30 people hunched on the floor! Some of the moves were a little frightening, but we had a blast! Jared can cross, "dance the River Jig" off his life bucket list :)
We will definitely be attending more of these!
People wear kilts to these Kayleighs!
My fabulous coworkers and their boyfriends!
The room is spinning :) Thanks for all the help, Roslyn!
