A class for any adult interested in a social group dancing experience! No experience necessary, all levels are welcome for drop ins or come for a whole 10 week session! This class has an emphasis on fun and laughter while moving together to great tunes. Some footwork basics are taught at the start of the evening, followed by a group Ceili hour. “Ceili” dancing is the term used for group dances, mostly considered the party or social dances in Irish culture.
