Week Four: Creation!
Beginners, intermediates, advanced and our waltz cloggers will all be choreographing steps! Improvisation and choreography, scary words? I think not! Let’s demystify it all!
Battering, calling and old-style step classes continue to work on historical & traditional material.
This week the Keep Her Lit sessions will light Winter One on fire! We will revisit our Roisin jigs, the Sunday jigs set, Joe O’Donovan’s hornpipes and waltz clog. This is a great opportunity to drill all of the material at full tempo! Want to showcase a dance routine March 27th at the Rambling House – Spring Fling? Could be something you learned in class or do you have a party piece? Songs, stories, dance or tunes — bring it on! Spring theme costumes encouraged!
Please note there will be no tea time talk this week.
I’m looking forward to a jam packed week of dancing with you.
See you on the virtual dance floor!
