Fall 26-Spring 27
Irish Dance: Beginner 2 (ages 7+, adults welcome!)
Maddie Senator
This class will challenge returning students by continuing to build on the basics while introducing a stronger emphasis on technique. We will keep perfecting the soft shoe dances the students already know and potentially progress to figure (group) dances, which are team building and lots of fun!
We will also start learning hard shoe movements and rhythms so that the students can enjoy the percussive footwork Irish dance is well known for.
Pre-requisites: This class is generally appropriate for students who have previously taken at least 2 semesters of Irish. If you are unsure of which class is best for you, please contact Maddie directly (801) 830-9864.
