Traditional Irish social dancing is easy and fun. It is not necessary to be Irish or have a partner to attend. New members are always welcome.
Irish dancing is full of history and tradition -- a beautiful form of dance that is performed all over the world. It's easy to fall in love with Irish dancing -- its music, its rhythm and its challenge stay with you long after the dancing is over. The mental stimulation required to remember the steps and the energy gained from the practice push the boundaries of self expression.
Friendships naturally develop as dancers help others learn and cheer them on when they "get it".
So whether you choose dancing as an escape, as exercise or to meet people, dancing will most certainly bring you joy.
