Course Description

If you have ever thought about learning to Irish dance, or 'Riverdance' as some people say, look no further. This course is designed for beginners and will take you from no knowledge to dancing to Irish music in no time at all! You will be able to show off your skills next St. Patrick's Day.
The course aims to teach two basic sets of movements in easy, attainable increments. Each part of the step is broken down, filmed in close up, then demonstrated without music, to slow music, medium tempo and regular fast music. The steps are repeated a few times on each lecture. Progress at your own pace.
Learning Irish dance can help with balance, strength, and agility. No special requirements only wear something comfortable that you are able to move your legs in. As for shoes, socks, tennis shoes or bare feet are acceptable as well as any type of soft dance shoe.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who has an interest in Irish Dance and can walk

This is about the basics of Irish dancing. I love it and it's very easy to follow.
It just seems for me a little too expensive for such a short course, that's why I don't give it 5 stars.
We could also have another angles to allow us to better correct our bodies and moves.

SO ! FUN !

By Carla on 5/22/2020

excellent for beginners!! One of the best!
As a suggestion: add a front mirror and explain if you can bend or not the knees, point or not, etc.
Please do more courses.

Just want to thank you for the great course. You make it fun and accessible to dance/exercise. This is addictive and I look forward to learning and practicing more.

I realized how uncoordinated I am. Martin makes it look so easy. Oh well practice makes perfect. I hope my floors go the distance. Lol

By Brenna Lepage on 7/8/2019

Course was excellent! I enjoyed it very much. :)

By Daniela Simina on 4/18/2019

It is indeed a very good course. It would be helpful though to have a prep count to get the students ready for the beginning of the musical phrase; such as, " ..5, 6, 7, AND hop, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7". Thank you!

By Patrice Hartson on 10/2/2018

I really like the incremental speed increase and repetition.

By Bluebird Crossman on 7/27/2018
