This is a 9-week course for absolute beginners. It's a friendly and supportive class for those with absolutely zero previous experience Irish dancing!

The class is in a beautiful new venue, literally next to Highgate tube station on the Northern line.
This is perfect for anyone who is a total beginner and looking to learn the basics and build their confidence over 9 weeks.
