IN STUDIO
Irish step dance is a high energy, technical dance form. Think the cardio demands of Hip Hop combined with the technical placement of ballet, plus traditional and joyful music and you have Irish dance! This class teaches dancers basic Irish dance steps, technique and simple choreography, which lays a solid foundation for more advanced movements and patterns. Dancers get a lot of movement while practicing technical skills and building strength and rhythm. While Irish dance is a traditional form, it's also a dynamic, modern dance form, that is influenced by popular culture. This means there is room creativity and fun. We incorporate individual, partner and group dance, and will learn choreography your dancer can share with you at home.
Dancers should wear comfortable clothes that they can move in. Dancers should be barefoot or wear ballet/jazz shoes. Special shoes (the hard shoes that are kind of like tap shoes) are not introduced until dancers are more advanced.
