  • Old-Style Step Dancing “Signature Steps”

    5-week session

    In this class, I will share old-style Irish dance steps from my personal repertoire that I’ve collected or created over many years. This is an intermediate-level class — some step dancing experience is required. As always, I will include a warm-up, technique, personal background/context for these steps, and perspectives on musicality and performance style.

    Online classes are scheduled for Eastern Time. A Zoom link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the start of the first class. (Please make sure I have your correct email address.) Each class in this series will be recorded and made available to students for one week, before the next class.

    Mindful Movement (online)

    5-week session

    This 60 minute class invites students to come into deeper presence and awareness — with a movement experience that fosters grounding, release, creativity, and energy flow. Drawing from somatic practices such as Bartenieff Fundamentals, Polarity Yoga, and dance improvisation, this is a restorative and enlivening class — set to slow airs, waltzes, and other lyrical selections from traditional Irish and Celtic music. Come nourish yourself with a gentle reboot! No experience necessary!

    Online classes are scheduled for Eastern Time. A Zoom link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the start of the first class. (Please make sure I have your correct email address.) Each class in this series will be recorded and made available to students for one week, before the next class.
