Which country does Kelly dance come from?

Kelly dance is English. Kelly dance originated from Gaelic people in Ireland and Scotland. Kelly dance is a traditional Gaelic gathering where people usually play Gaelic folk music and dance. In the early days, it was just a party, not necessarily a dance. Kelly was also called a fun party, because its content also included telling stories, reciting poems and playing recitations. Dance may be very popular in modern times.

In Scotland, there are roughly three different styles of traditional dances: Kelly dance, country dance and highland dance. Kelly dance is the easiest to learn in traditional dance. There are not many basic dance steps, which are easy to master, and in most cases it is a group dance that people dance around the rhythm indoors. Because in primary and secondary schools in Scotland, children will learn to dance Kelly, so many adults will also dance it.

Kelly's musical instruments are mainly composed of violin, flute, six-hole flute, accordion and Bosland drum. In modern times, drums, guitars and bass have also been added.

The traditional formation of Kelly dance is that four couples stand in a square or rectangle. Each partner and the opposite partner change places with the dance music and change partners with the rhythm. In modern Scottish Kelly dance, most people dance in groups in a circle, or more interestingly, each round is repeated, and the ladies move forward to change partners.
