Details
This is a weekly 1-hour class for Improvers+ level dancers with 2 years experience in Irish dancing.
This class will cover both heavy and light shoe, and is perfect for dancers who are very confident with the basics and looking to build on their skills and learn some new choreography!
To join this class you should already feel very confident with...
• Light shoe basics (jumps, threes, evens, backs, points, spins)
• Heavy shoe basics (shuffles, tips, stamps)
You will also feel somewhat comfortable with...
• Light shoe moves (points, switches, leaps)
• Heavy shoe rhythms (beginners treble reel, heavy jig, hornpipe)
This term we will be learning...
• Improvers+ Treble Reels
• The Blackbird Set Dance
• Improvers+ Slip Jig

The 6pm and 7pm class will cover exactly the same material.
Whilst we encourage people to join every week to build on skills and steps, you are also welcome to drop-in and join half-way through a term.
🕺 Your teacher will be Jessie Leach, former All-Ireland Irish dancing champion and Riverdance cast member.
🗓️ This course is available as an early-bird discounted block-booking until 5th December to guarantee your spot every week.
🗓️ Single tickets for specific dates can be purchased. You can purchase a one-off ticket or purchase a class pass and use towards your classes.
Please note: This is not a course, so emails will not be sent out after each class. You are welcome to join on a drop-in basis, however we recommend joining weekly to build confidence and skills!
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE NO CLASSES W/C 16TH MARCH
Level: Improver, improvers+
