One-Night-Only • Just in Time for St. Patrick’s Day!

Get your toes tapping and your heart racing with this high-energy introduction to Irish dance! Whether you’ve always wanted to try it or just want to brush up before the St. Patrick’s Day festivities, this one-off workshop is the perfect way to jump in.

You’ll learn the basics of soft shoe Irish step dancing and céilí (group) dancing, moving to lively reels and jigs. We’ll break down foundational individual steps and then bring it all together in a short, joyful group choreography—no experience needed!

Wear comfortable clothes and flexible footwear (socks, ballet or jazz shoes, sneakers all work great). Come ready to move, laugh, and leave feeling just a little more Irish.
