Grading
There will not be grading for this class. The class will offer continued coaching and guidance and support.Class Experience
This class will offer private instruction in Irish Dance. Learners of all levels of experience are welcome and will be instructed and coached according the their level of knowledge of Irish Dance. This class is not intended for dancers who are currently enrolled with any other Irish Dance Instructor. No experience of any kind is necessary to get started. 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. Class will begin with some warm-up stretches to get the dancers ready for movement. After warm-up the dancers will learn some of the basic characteristics of Irish Dance such as toe turn out, crossing feet, pointing toes down, etc. They will then move on to learn a step. Age-appropriate activities and learning aids are incorporated to engage the learners. 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. 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 also 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
Learning Goals
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.
