Irish St Patrick’s Day Jig

Workshop

Two Day Workshop for $25
Date: March 13 & 20, 1pm-2:30pm

What’s more Irish than a jig? Nothing. What’s the most Irish of all the jigs? The St. Patrick’s Day Jig, of course! This dance is a hard shoe (percussive) dance. You will learn basic hard shoe steps and then work on the St Patrick’s Day Jig choreography. FYI, this is a traditional “set” dance done with the same choreography around the world! You do not need to wear special Irish dance shoes, but do wear something with a smooth sole.

The workshop payment is not refundable for cancellations made within one week prior to date of the workshop.
