Wednesdays from 6:30 — 7:30pm (May 6th through July 29th, with the exception of June 10th when we will not have class)
The Dance Space: 6004-A W. Broad Street, Henrico, VA 23230
In this social, adult-focused class, students learn foundational Cape Breton and Irish step dance vocabulary, including basic strathspey, jig, and reel steps, shuffles, tip-downs, brush steps, and shuffling. Class material draws from both traditions, highlighting their shared rhythmic roots while introducing stylistic differences in posture, timing, and musical emphasis.
A strong emphasis of the class is on musicality and improvisation, helping students build confidence moving to reels, jigs, and strathspeys and “thinking on their feet.”
This class is welcoming to beginners and encourages individual expression while developing solid technical foundations.
Signing up for the season, rather than monthly or as drop-in, saves money!
Semester: $225
Monthly: $80 ($240 whole summer)
Drop-ins: $25 per class
