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.
