Beginner Irish Dance Workshop
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by learning a jig or two! If you have ever seen Riverdance or Lord of the Dance and wish you could master the steps, now is your chance! We will begin with the basics of Irish dance technique, along with a warm-up and stretching, and finish with learning a beginner jig. Please come wearing athletic clothes you can move in (and sweat in - Irish dance is a great workout) and a full water bottle. Dancers may wear various dance shoes for class including ballet soft shoes, jazz shoes, or barefoot - whatever they feel most comfortable in! Get ready to have fun and take a journey to the Emerald Isle all without ever leaving the studio!
