Overview
Betty Sheehan, Mondays, 6:30pm–7:30pm
8 weekly sessions beginning January 27
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.
Please note that IAC will be closed and classes will not be held on the following: Monday, January 20, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; February 17, in observance of Presidents’ Day; and Monday, March 17, in observance of St. Patrick’s Day.
