No matter if you are 18 or 80, you can learn to do Irish social dance!  Irish ceili and set dancing is fun, social, and much less virtuosic and athletic than solo (step) dancing. Participants will learn basic steps and figures for social enjoyment of Irish ceili dances,  such as Walls of Limerick, Siege of Ennis, and others as well as selected dances from the canons of set dancing and Donegal Two-Hands. No previous experience with Irish dance is needed to start. Instructor: Shirleigh Brannon. PV Recreation Center, Social Hall.
