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. Weeks 1: Learn the basics of Irish Dance, foot placement and techniques Weeks 2-3: Soft Shoe Dance Instruction; Learners will begin to use the basics to build Irish Dance Steps Weeks 4: Review of all steps covered during the 4 weeks. Throughout the 4 weeks there will be focus on mastering the techniques important to Irish Dance such as turn out, crossed feet, good posture, etc. 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
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.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dancers are encouraged to stretch prior to the start of class. Class will also begin with some warm up stretches to get the dancers ready for movement. Dancers should 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. 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.
Supply List
No special supplies needed. Just comfortable clothing suitable for easy movement.
