overview

  • This class is held at PCC SouthEast campus
  • Dance Shoes
    • There’s no official shoe for set dancing. The most important thing is a smooth, non-grippy sole that allows you to glide across the floor.
    • Good options include:
      • A tap shoe without the tap
      • Smooth-soled dress shoes
      • Dance sneakers
    • Regular sneakers aren’t recommended, as they tend to grip the floor and make turning and traveling harder.
  • Local option: The Leotard on MLK carries several shoes that work well for set dancing. Let them know you’re taking a dance class and you’ll receive 10% off.
  • Here’s an article about shoes – some ideas and recommendations.

playlist

On this Tab

  • Steps for Set Dancing Playlist: Smooth 3’s practice videos
  • Clare Battering Playlist: you are welcome to go down the rabbit hole here. This playlist had many videos of Clare Battering steps. The battering is an optional component of set dancing. If you like working on footwork and like the percussive elements of set dancing this is a good playlist to start working on your own. I will teach some battering steps in class, but they do take time outside of class to work on them and get them up to speed. This is a part of set dancing that I ablsoutly love and there are other dancers who prefer the smooth options. It’s completly up to you what you work on.

    intro

    2026 Spring Dance Intensive

    Rhythm is Everything

    April 15–19 | Alberta Arts District | Portland, Oregon

    Join us for five immersive days of Irish dance, rhythm, and community in Portland’s vibrant Alberta Arts District.

    The 2026 Spring Dance Intensive is designed for dancers who want to deepen their relationship with rhythm — through Sean-nós improvisation, set dance battering, percussive technique, and step creation.

    We’ll explore traditional steps from Cavan, Longford, Roscommon, Clare, and Connemara — and then take them apart, reshape them, and rebuild them so they are strong, musical, and danceable at any speed.

    Each day includes:

    • Two focused workshops
    • Technique, rhythm vocabulary & musicality work
    • Creation sessions
    • Evening opportunities to dance, listen, and connect

    We’ll work on:

    • Stripping steps down to their essential rhythm
    • Adding ornamentation and variation
    • Dancing the tune (echoing, layering, shifting emphasis)
    • Timing, phrasing, extra beats, crooked steps
    • Weight shifting and tone (heel, toe, full foot)
    • Layering time signatures (reels over polkas, slides over hornpipes)
    • Improvisation, call & response, and dancing off each other

    Evenings bring community time — informal practice, connection, and late-night tunes at nearby spots including TC O’Leary’s, just four blocks away.

    For Out-of-Town Dancers

    Stay right in the neighborhood — no car needed. Restaurants, galleries, cafés, and shared accommodations are within walking distance.

    Limited space to ensure personal attention and a close-knit experience.
