The class will teach both the simple party dances such as Walls of Limerick, Haymaker's Jig, Fairy Reel, as well as the more advanced dances like Eight-Hand Jig and High Cauled Cap.

Emphasis is on pronunciation, conversation and reading. In the first part of each class, we usually review very basic material, and in the second hour, we work at a more advanced level, for continuing study group members. (Beginners are welcome to stay, of course.)

We will also include some Gaelic songs and practical conversation (Gaelic tea & biscuits, etc.).
