Details
This is an 11-week course for beginner-level Irish dancers with a few month's experience who want to keep learning Irish dancing in a fun and supportive environment!
Each class will cover both heavy and light dancing, so you can build your confidence with both.
This is perfect for dancers who...
• Already have 3-6 months of recent beginners experience
• Are getting comfortable with the very basics of soft shoe dancing (threes, sevens, jumps, rise and grind), and have some basic experience with heavy shoe dancing.
• Are confident in other dance styles and able to pick up steps quickly
If you are a total beginner wanting to start slowly from scratch, please see our Beginners Next Steps and Absolute Beginners courses on Tuesdays in Highgate.
🎥 These steps should look totally manageable:
