This technique really does capture the energy in the movement.
Thanks everyone, and Mick I'll keep you waiting a bit longer though I have some dancing girls to come tomorrow.
Joline I shall have that song on my brain all day now...

The ghost of ceilidh's past and present. Maybe you could make a video to describe how this was done? 
Dougie
I do love the ghostly effect here, a great capture!
Carol
I've only tried this a couple of times, but it's a great effect to capture the movement 
Great stuff Moira
Trev
This one works really well Moira, because of the amount of movement going on with the Dancers. And mono, of course, is a MUST!
John
The long exposure and rear curtain flash has worked really well here. I was viewing some of your others like this yesterday and enjoyed viewing them immensely, as I have this one.
Andy
nice shaft of light thro the window, makes the figures look as if they are dancing in the air
Ghostly figures indeed - that couple in the center, the man's face clear, yet ghostlike - the energy, all wonderful.
