Description
Class Experience
My goal is that each learner will gain appreciation for Irish Dance and master the basics with the opportunity to advance to a higher level.
I have been teaching Irish Dance to children ages 3 and older for 38 years. I am certified through our teacher organization in Ireland and am a member of the Irish Dance Teachers Association of Mid-America and the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America.
Practice between classes is encouraged.
No special supplies needed. Just comfortable clothing suitable for easy movement.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Learners should wear comfortable clothing suitable for easy movement and flexible shoes which provide traction and also allow them to stand on their toes. No jeans please. Dancers are encouraged to have a water bottle on hand to stay hydrated during class. A large space is not necessary for class however the area should be free from any items on the floor or furniture which may be an obstacle. 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..... Overall fitness Increased stamina Good balance Good posture Coordination Rhythm Core strength Muscle strength Improved listening skills Improved memory Self confidence Lung exercise Stress reduction Well being Mind stimulation Tension relief Heart Health
