New 6 week term! Drop-ins welcome!
A mixed level class / dance session - a 6 week course
"Maddens bar, even though it resides in the heart of the city, epitomises tradition, warmth and craic; it is renowned for its vibrant traditional music scene."
Student review: "I would recommend Annette's classes because she is an excellent teacher and her love for dancing and for teaching is inspirational." - Nuala Shanley, Fermanagh

Running since October 2022 'Step with Annette' hosts a dance class - outside the "classroom environment" - mighty craic! The session has 2 parts"
a) tuition in old style step dancing, 1 or 2 new steps each week, perhaps 1 easy step and a more advanced step, as the sessions progress there will be revision of previously taught steps/dances, or dances already known by those attending.
b) between the solo dances, learn some simple 2-hand dances.

The aim is to get people dancing outside the classroom environment, while also attracting people who are curious about dance and are keen to try a few simple steps - ie something for everyone.

PRICING OPTIONS:
On week 1 - pay for the 6 week course: £35 (£7 discount)
If you prefer, you can pay per session, £7.
After class you will have access to a video to help you learn your new steps. Those who pay for a full term will receive all the videos.
FYI there is always recap each week of the steps covered - 🙂

VENUE:
Upstairs room, Maddens Bar, Belfast

NB - there is a music session in the downstairs bar from 830-11pm lead by piper Aaron O'Hagan - we could take our dance session downstairs! The dancers usually stay for a drink or two after class.
