Learners will enjoy a story with an Irish Theme. Basic Irish Dance moves will be incorporated throughout to make the story come alive while learners experience basic Irish Dance moves. The class will start with a brief introduction about the story to be told. Story time will then begin. As the story progresses learners will be shown basic Irish Dance moves and will use the moves to bring the story to life. The class teaches proper technique for Traditional Irish Dances. In addition, dancers will learn coordination, poise, movement and rhythm with emphasis on the basic style and characteristics which make Irish Dance a unique art form. Irish Dance is full of energy with jumps, kicks and skips. This dance style uses rapid footwork with crossed feet keeping to the rhythm of Irish music. Age appropriate activities are included to engage the dancers. Shaping the talents and values of children and young adults and teaching the importance of self achievement provide Peggy with the rewards she seeks as an Irish Dance Instructor. Dancers will benefit from the many wonderful health benefits of Irish Dance.....
