Overview
Betty Sheehan, TCRG, Mondays, 7pm – 8pm
8 weekly sessions beginning Monday, September 23, 2019
(No class on Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day, Monday, October 14)
This class is for students that have taken Step Dance I, or have previous dance experience, but need more practice before moving up to Step Dance II. Dancers will continue to build the foundation form and technique of Irish dance, and will work on mastering light-shoe steps in reel and jig, working towards more complicated steps and rhythms. There may be opportunities as well to learn slip jig rhythms and group dances!
Students in all dance classes should wear shorts or workout pants and a t-shirt. For footwear, sneakers, ballet shoes or Ghillies are best.
