West Mabou Family Square Dances have been held weekly for over 30 years and are a well-established attraction of Cape Breton Island’s Celtic music scene. These dances are attended by locals and visitors alike and feature the island’s best-known traditional musicians.
Our Inverness County square sets are easy to learn. At the start of each dance, we will offer one guided square set for newcomers.
Come join the fun! All ages welcome!
