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.....

Other Details

Parental Guidance
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 create an obstacle.
