Overview

Dan Hunt, Tuesdays, 7:30pm—9pm 

8 weekly sessions beginning Tuesday, January 28, 2020

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 experience is necessary. Whether you have never danced before, or just want to improve your style and learn new steps and styles, all are welcome. 

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