Irish Ceili and Set Dancing Workshop with Julee Caspers Agar

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready for the March 26 Irish Ceili Dance! This workshop will introduce you to some of the basic steps and patterns used in traditional Irish Ceili Dance (similar to New England Contradance and Appalachian Circle Dance). After learning a few simple Irish social dance steps, students will practice listening and responding to a dance caller. This workshop will also introduce the popular Set Dances of Ireland. These Percussive Social Dances are even more fun to do if you have a leather bottom shoe for making percussive sound.
