Galway is a city renowned for its artistic spirit and deep-rooted traditions. Today provides an opportunity to delve into the world of Irish dance.
Walk the short distance from the pier through the bustling streets of Galway to a simple local community venue. Galway's community spirit thrives here through a variety of classes, sports club gatherings, and cultural events. Meet an expert instructor who is not only a skilled dancer but also a passionate ambassador of Irish culture. Learn the fundamentals of traditional Irish dance, from the basic steps and rhythms to more intricate footwork and patterns. Whether you are a complete beginner or have some prior dance experience, everyone is here to join in on the fun.
Learn about the significance of the various dance forms, such as lively jigs and reels, as well as more formal and structured set dances. 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. No matter how fabulous your own dancing is, this will leave you inspired and enthralled.
Walk (or dance, if you dare) through the city streets back to the pier.
