We will break down a basic step dance improvisation method and build a personal vocabulary of moves to practice. We'll explore these steps' possibilities and creative potential as expressive and musical tools. All levels are welcome. Please wear clothes you can move in comfortably – track pants or leggings.
These classes are open to everyone over 14 years of age. Each artist will introduce some of the ways they work with dance and movement. The workshops are for anyone interested in looking at Irish dance in a different way and finding new connections to the old. All are welcome, and do stay for a cup of tea and a chat afterwards!
