Improvers - Light and Heavy Shoe 🇮🇪 - Closed for new sign ups

Sign-up is now closed for new dancers this term! We kindly request that you do not sign up to a class in November if you have not attended in September/October, as we have been building on choreography.

This is a weekly 1-hour class for Improver-level dancers with 1+ years experience in Irish dancing.

This course will cover both heavy and light shoe, and is perfect for dancers who are confident with the basics and looking to build on their skills and learn some new choreography!

To join this class you should already feel confident with...
• Soft shoe basics (jumps, threes, evens, backs, points, spins)
• Heavy shoe basics (shuffles, tips)

This term we will be learning...
• Beginners hornpipe
• Improvers Reel
• Improvers light shoe technique
• Improvers treble reel

The 6pm and 7pm class will cover exactly the same material. For those booked onto the full course, an email will be sent each week outlining what has been covered. The 6pm is encouraged for dancers who want to take things slightly slower.

🕺 Your teacher will be Jessie Leach, former All-Ireland Irish dancing champion and Riverdance cast member.

🗓️ This course is available as a block-booking to guarantee your spot every week.

If you can't attend every date, single tickets for specific dates can be purchased. Please bear in mind it is a progressing course, so we do not recommend joining in the final few weeks, as you may have missed some steps. Instead, we recommend booking the dates you can join across the 12-weeks, as consistently as possible! You can purchase a one-off ticket, or use a pass if you are mixing with other classes and want more flexibility.
