Students will learn about some of the history of Irish dance and practice introductory Irish dance techniques as well as learn the elements of a “step” or “steps.” The class will put these steps together in sequence to traditional music and perform them together in groups. This high energy class is a great fit for anyone interested in rhythm and timing.
