Curious about sean-nós dancing?

(Leagan Gaeilge thíos)

Join me for an evening of sean-nós dance workshops in the heart of Dublin city this Friday, 16 August 2013.

I’ll be teaching sean-nós dance steps with a modern twist, offering students the opportunity to kick loose and move freely to the music. All are welcome to Club Chonradh na Gaeilge, 6 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2 for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The evening will kick off at 6pm with an hour-long intensive workshop for improvers. Participants must have prior experience and should be willing to dance solo. This workshop will cover more advanced reel steps as well as more complex rhythmic ornamentation. €10 admission.

From 7.15pm – 8.45pm I’ll be going back to basics for a beginner’s workshop. Starting with a short warm up to get the heart rate up, this workshop will a provide a basic lesson in traditional rhythm as well as a good physical workout – no prior experience necessary. €12 admission.

Although both workshops will be taught bilingually, participants are not required to speak Irish. Spaces are limited so make sure to reserve a place e-mailing sibeal.davitt@gmail.com. Please arrive 15 mins early to prepare for the class.

Come and step up to the challenge and don’t forget to spread the word!
