Monday nights are for Traditional Irish Dance at BelfastTrad. Get moving with old-style solo step dancing, sean nós step dancing and Scottish and Cape Breton steps in our three levels of solo dance classes.
7:15pm – Tim Flaherty - Introduction to Solo Steps - Dance Hall
Tim teaches basic dance rhythms and styles, suitable for all levels, especially beginners!
7:15pm – Berni Corr-McGinley - Post-Beginners Solo Steps - Sports Hall
This class is for dancers with a some dance experience. Berni will teach some of her favourite steps, this term focussing on Hornpipes and revisiting some of our previous repertoire of old-style step dances.
Non-competitive Irish dance classes for people 12-90+. All our dance classes emphasise the joyful, social activity of old-style dance rather than the more modern competitive one. Although each class addresses developing rhythm, timing, and technique, first and foremost the emphasis is on musicality: understanding the connection between music and dance, developing a listening ear, and trying to keep the music in the dancing. Students learn a mix of traditional step dancing, sean-nós dance, and set dancing, with the offerings being varied term to term.. Most importantly, BelfastTrad wants to pass onto dancers not just the steps themselves, but the joy and vitality of carrying on this living tradition.
