Meet an expert instructor who is not only a skilled dancer but also a passionate ambassador of Irish culture.

Your host will share their fascinating cultural contexts and explain their origins and evolution. A highlight is a live display by your professional Irish dancing host showcasing the grace, precision, and exuberance of Irish dance.
