2-16-2021 Keep Her Lit | Acapella Jig

maldonm

In this keep her lit session we danced each step by its self. We ended by dancing all the steps in order once at the end of class. The next woodshed we will dance the whole routine. You can find the breakdown of all of the steps here if you want to be able to go to a specific step without having to watch the whole class.

Here is a performance version of the Acapella jig with the Maldon Meehan Dancers. We do a call and response with each step. Group 1 and group 2 dancing some of the step in a call and response pattern and some of the step all together. We usually dance the run on steps call and response.
