Let's Learn Irish Dance (FLEX)

In this 4 week flex course students will learn the steps to two different Irish songs.  These are dances I choreographed myself.   I will break down the dances into 4 sections and we will do two section per week.   Every Monday and Wednesday the teacher with post a video to the classroom that teaches the steps for that weeks section of the song.    Throughout the remainder of the week students will be expected to participate in class discussions and also post videos of them practicing and learning their dance. This will help students get to know each other and have interaction with their classmates.  Some of the discussion questions will be get to know you type question (what's your favorite Irish music song?, what's your favorite style of dance) and other questions will pertain to the dance of the week (ex.  are there any other songs you think would work with this dance?)  Students will also work together to help each other do various games/worksheet activities.   Again, this helps facilitate interaction amongst each other.   

Students do not need any dance experience for this class.
