Overview
Betty Sheehan, TCRG, Mondays, 6pm—7pm
8 weekly sessions beginning Monday, September 23, 2019
(No class on Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day, Monday, October 14)
A boot-camp introduction to the basics of Irish step dancing—absolutely no previous dance experience necessary. Dancers will learn the foundation form and technique of Irish dance, starting with the basic movements and progressing to light-shoe reels and jigs. We'll learn a few solo steps and we'll round out the session with a group dance, putting together all the pieces learned over the term!
Students in all dance classes should wear shorts or workout pants and a t-shirt. For footwear, sneakers, ballet shoes or ghillies are best.
