2022 Summer 1 | Sean-nós | Endurance
intro
Endurance – 15-30 min (depending on the style/material)
Our Endurance sessions will vary in length depending on the style of dance and material. I will create a playlist of tunes/dances that we will dance at full tempo. You can follow along with the specific dance or you can just dance to the music with the steps you have. Think of this as a full rehearsal of material or session dancing. The idea is to build up your endurance as if you were on stage dancing a full performance.
