FAQ's

I've never danced before, can I still come along?

Yes, absolutely. The beginners class is perfect. Many people in the class have zero dance experience. We teach basic movements and join them together to learn full dances so anyone can take part. We do light dancing, heavy dancing (tap) and ceili or team dancing.

What do I wear?

Regular gym clothes and runners or dance sneakers. Irish dance shoes if you have them but not essential.

Do I need to bring anything else?
Just plenty of water! We dance for the full hour of the class and it's pretty energetic so a large bottle of water is advised.

Do I have to sign up for classes?
Payment is per term so in blocks of nine or ten classes. However, you're welcome to come along and try your first class before signing up for the whole term.
