Overview

Dan Hunt, Wednesdays, 7pm–8:30pm

8 weekly sessions beginning September 24

This class will be held in person in the Studio Classroom.

Come learn the popular dances done at céilís 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 experience is necessary. Whether you've never danced before or want to improve your style and learn new steps, all are welcome.

Students should wear comfortable shoes with leather soles that would be suitable for ballroom dancing.
