Overview
Dan Hunt, Tuesdays, 7:30pm—9pm
8 weekly sessions beginning Tuesday, September 24, 2019
Come learn the popular dances done at ceilis every weekend in the metropolitan area! Set dances are lively social dances done in a square. We will work on basic footwork, transitions between figures, and moving to the phrasing of the music.
No previous dance experience necessary—whether you have never danced or just want to improve your style and learn dances, all are welcome.
Students should wear comfortable shoes with leather soles that would be suitable for ballroom dancing.
