Overview
Betty Sheehan, Mondays, 7pm–8pm
8 weekly sessions beginning April 10
This class will be held in-person in the Studio Classroom.
A boot-camp introduction to Irish step dancing—absolutely no previous experience is necessary. Students will learn the foundation, form, and technique of Irish dance, starting with basic movements and progressing to light-shoe reels and jigs. We’ll learn a few solo steps and round out the term with a group dance that pieces together all the elements learned!
Students in all dance classes should wear shorts or workout pants and a t-shirt. For footwear, sneakers, ballet shoes, or ghillies are best.
