Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this irish dance class:

A boot-camp introduction to Irish step dancing—absolutely no previous experience is necessary. 

Students will learn the foundation, form, and technique of Irish dance, starting with basic movements and progressing to light-shoe reels and jigs. We'll learn a few solo steps and round out the session with a group dance that pieces together all the elements learned over the term!

Question from Alan K.
Where do we get the right dancing shoes for this class? I've never tried dancing before so absolutely no experience here but I really want to try out Irish Step Dancing. Is this a good course?
Answer from Andrea P. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi, Alan! You do not need special shoes for the beginning step dance class. Sneakers, ballet shoes work equally as well as Ghilles (Irish dance shoes) for this class. If you do want to get the shoes anyway here is the information: Sansha New York Sells many kinds of dance products, Irish dance soft shoes (Ghillies), movement shoes, dance shoes, dance leotards, and pointe shoes etc. Sansha will give the 10% discount whenever people come to the store from IAC. nydancestore.com (http://www.nydancestore.com/) 888 8th Avenue (on 53rd street, between Broadway and 8th Ave) New York, NY 10019 212-246-6212
Answer from Andrea P. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi, Alan! This class is a boot-camp introduction to the basics of Irish step dancing. Absolutely no previous dance experience necessary so all good for you. All Level 1 classes are designed for an absolute beginner: someone who has never, for example, held a fiddle before; learned a bit of conversational Irish, or taken a step dance class. In most Level 1 classes, students come away with 2-3 tunes or dances before they move onto the next level.
