Join Colin Dunne at The Ark for an interactive workshop in Irish step dance. These workshops are suitable for children and families who want to gain an appreciation of how to move to Irish music in a relaxed and fun way. You will learn some basic steps and will be encouraged to make some of your own, while also learning about timing and rhythm. You do not need dance shoes but do bring comfortable footwear with a soft sole.
