A hardshoe video clip!

Hello dancers,

If you've been dropping in for very basic hardshoe classes, you've learned a beginning traditional hornpipe step.

Here's a link to a YouTube video of a dancer doing a very similar step to the one we learned. You'll notice in the middle of the step she does some "heel back" type movement - don't worry about that! Just watch the "tip down tip down shuffle hop back" and the ending parts.

See you Thursday!

Dance class sessions

NEW CLASS SESSIONS:
Tuesdays, March 23 - April 27. 5:30-6:30pm: Beginning Traditional Hardshoe. Please email me to register. Hardshoe dancing is not meant to replace your softshoe/ceili class.Please make every effort to enroll in both classes.

Thursdays, March 25 - April 29. 6:00-7:00pm. Softshoe and Ceili dancing. This session we've primarily concentrated on ceili dancing, but there is a wealth of other material to learn - partner dances, solo dances, etc. Please join us!

Pre-register for your class sessions so I can lower the price for everyone!

Dancing between sessions

Our current class session ends February 18.

Here's what's going on in the meantime:

Tuesdays 5:30-6:30 and Thursdays 6:00-7:00pm, from February 23/February 25 through March 9/March 11 (3 weeks), we will have drop-in classes at the studio. If you pre-register by emailing me the days you plan to attend, I can calculate a discounted per-person rate. We need to cover cost of rental and cost of instruction, but that's it! The more money I can save you, the happier we all will be!
