Learn something new this summer! Here’s your chance to learn Irish dance in Lexington for free to see if you like it.
Bluegrass Ceili Academy, in partnership with Lexington Parks and Recreation, is hosting four Introduction to Irish Dance workshops this summer at Artworks at the Carver School.
All ages are welcome at each of our four workshops, beginning with dancers age 5 and up. You don’t have to have dance experience, but those who do are welcome! At each workshop you’ll get to learn something new.
- Monday, June 19 – Introduction to Irish Ceili Dancing – On Monday, June 19, we’ll introduce ceili (pronounced kay-lee) dancing to you. We’ll teach one of the group dances that has been handed down through generations of Irish dancers.
- Monday, June 26 – Introduction to Irish Step Dancing – On Monday, June 26, we’ll introduce step dancing to you. We’ll teach you how to step out with a reel or a jig, putting your best foot forward!
- Monday, July 17 – Introduction to Irish Hard Shoe Dancing – On Monday, July 17, we’ll introduce hard shoe dancing to you. We’ll teach you the basic rhythms that’ll get you tapping along to a good Irish tune.
- Monday, July 24 – Introduction to Competitive Irish Dancing – On Monday, July 24, we’ll introduce you to competitive team dancing. Take your dancing to the next level by working with a dance team. We’ll teach one of the traditional ceili dances performed at a feis (Irish dance competition) or an Oireachtas (regional championship). Don’t let the “competition” part scare you – dancing with a team is fun!
