Irish Step Dance Classes

Irish step dance is one of the most popular traditional dance forms to come from the Emerald Isle. Popularized recently by shows such as Riverdance, this form is both challenging to perform and exhilarating to watch. It is divided into two forms: soft shoe and hard shoe. Soft shoe consists of intricate flexible footwork, and fast flexible leg work with leaps and high kicks. Hard shoe boasts fast percussive rhythms, intricate footwork and extreme precision. When step dancers perform together, it is an impressive sight to say the least.
