Traditional Irish dance basics and beyond in an older, traditional style. Ranging from beautifully simple to intricate, these steps are danced low to the ground and feature rhythms that closely match the music. Learn the 3s and 7s and solo hardshoe jigs, reels, and hornpipes. In the last 20 minutes, we’ll also dance social sets/céilís with the continuing class! We will begin with a thorough warmup, focusing on developing fluidity and musicality, and enjoy great traditional Irish music. Co-taught with Kara Howgate-Mello.

All backgrounds welcome, no experience required. This class offers steps at varying difficulties.
Shoes: Flat, hard-soled shoes.
