Class Experience

There are NO live meetings for this class.  This Self-Paced class includes instruction for the basic techniques for Irish Dance and the basic Reel and Jig.  Instructor, Peggy Cannon, wears color coded clothing to make it easy to follow and learn.  In each video segment the step will be slowly demonstrated and explained in detail.  Learners will then follow along with the video and do the step faster and eventually with music.  Each week will feature a building block of the Reel and/or Jig.  By the end of the course learners will build those blocks into a complete Reel Step and Jig Step.  Each week learners will be given a challenge to reinforce what they learned during the videos of the week.  Learners are encouraged to share the completion of their challenge in the class room.  Learners are also encouraged to interact with the instructor weekly by posting videos of their dances and asking questions.
