New term in Dance! 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, I plan to run this class on:
Wed 15 April + 22 April
29 April - a 1 week break as I have been awarded a travel grant to attend a festival in Boston - Tunes on the Charles - 🥳
Weekly from 6 May - 10 June
ie 8 weeks in total between April and June
On week 1 - pay for Wed 15 April + 22 April: discounted rate of £15
On week 1 - pay for 8 week course: discounted rate of £55
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.
