Description

If you have ever thought about learning to Irish dance, or 'Riverdance' as some people say, look no further. This course is designed for beginners and will take you from no knowledge to dancing to Irish music in no time at all! You will be able to show off your skills next St. Patrick's Day.

The course aims to teach basic sets of movements in easy, attainable increments. Each part of the step is broken down, filmed in close up, then demonstrated without music, to slow music, medium tempo and regular fast music. The steps are repeated a few times on each lecture. Progress at your own pace.

This introduction course covers some very basic steps, then beginner level 1 steps and then beginner level 2 steps. Hopefully even if you are a professional dancer you can still learn something from this course. When appropriate, notes on technique are given but it is understood that is aspirational and not a requirement!

Learning Irish dance can help with balance, strength, and agility. No special requirements only wear something comfortable that you are able to move your legs in. As for shoes, socks, tennis shoes or bare feet are acceptable as well as any type of soft dance shoe. 

Take a deep breath and give this a shot! Hopefully you will find the repetition instructive and be dancing along with the music in no time at all!
