New 5 week term! Drop-ins welcome! 🥳
A mixed level class / dance session.
"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 5 week course: £35
If you prefer, you can pay per session, £8.
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

If you know people in the Belfast area, please share this announcement with them.

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.
----------------------------------------
Annette looks forward to leading you in dance - her reputation as a teacher of solo traditional dance grew hugely during covid, due to her online programme which reached as far west as Seattle, and east to Japan.
Annette continues to teach online, as well as running her in-person initiatives.
