Spring Old Style Step Dance Classes for Kids (6-14) and Adults (15 and up)
Classes will take place on Mondays at St. Luke's Church on the Avenue at 800 W 36th Street with instructor Catherine Marafino Brice.
Adult Sean-nós dance class | Intermediate level | 6:30-7:30pm
Dancers will continue learning four-to-eight bar sean-nós patterns and phrases to add to their repertoire. More complex patterns and flourishes will be added to our steps, such as rocks, boxes, and triplets. We will build on our solo improvisation skills through improvisation exercises and creative work with partners and small groups. We will venture into jigs and hornpipes.
Adult Sean-nós dance class | Beginner level | 5:30-6:30pm
Dancers will learn the building blocks of old-style Irish dance: simple reel steps (“threes” and “sevens”), shuffles, tip downs, and sean-nós battering. Class time will include rhythm and improvisation exercises to get dancers comfortable dancing to their favorite tunes.
Kids Sean-nós dance class | Beginner level 4:45-5:30pm
Young children will be introduced to the basics of old-style Irish step dancing through drills, interactive games, and creative exercises. Students will learn to make sounds with the various parts of their feet—to hop, march, and balance on their heels and toes. Students will be introduced to “threes” and “sevens," shuffles, tip downs, and basic sean-nós battering.
