Adult Intermediate

The Adult Intermediate class (60 minutes, 1x per week) is for all adults who have already been introduced to the basics of Irish dance and have mastered the Reel, Light Jig, SlipJig, and Single Jig.

The Adult Intermediate class is perfect for veteran Irish dancers who have stepped away from jigging and are looking to restart their Irish dance journey. This class is designed to be fun and recreational with an avenue toward competition if that aspect of Adult step-dancing is desired. 

Adult Intermediate 2/Advanced

The Adult Intermediate 2/Advanced class (75 minutes, 1x per week) is for all adults who have a solid foundation in all soft shoe and hard shoe dances. Dancers have already learned and mastered the basics of Irish dance as well as steps in the Reel, Light Jig, SlipJig, and Single Jig.  Advanced dancers will work on traditional hard shoe rhythms and steps.  Dancers who already know traditional steps will move on to slower-tempo steps.  More complex soft shoe steps will be taught as well and group/ceili dancing will continue.
