A boot-camp introduction to the basics of "hardshoe" Irish step dancing - some previous Irish or percussive dance experience (tap, flamenco, etc.) is recommended. Dancers will learn the fundamentals of Irish percussive dance, starting with posture and alignment, conditioning, basic sound patterns, and progressing to treble reels, jigs, and even a hornpipe. You'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!

Please note that this is not at Irish Arts Center. Comfortable clothing and hornpipe shoes or tap shoes recommended.
