Come with comfortable clothes, socks or bare feet, and get ready to dance and sweat!
Ceili (Irish) Dancing. A fun, engaging class, learning the different ceili dances and history of the Irish Dance vocabulary.
Ceili in Irish Dance, in its basic form, means a “social visit.” Historically, ceilis were social dances in Ireland, traced back to as early as the 1500’s. Some of these dances are performed in a straight line, while others are performed in various formations, such as a circle or a square. Learning basic steps, ceili dances are performed in different formations, working with partners, performing a repeatable phrase matching traditional Irish Dance Music. Ceili’s studied in class may include Walls of Limerick, 4-hand-reel, 8-hand reel, The Siege of Ennis, and many more of the 30 official ceili dances in Irish Dance.
This class is open to anyone, as there is no Irish Dance experience needed to learn steps and perform in the formations. All you will need are comfortable clothes, socks or bare feet, and a willingness to learn and try a new dance style!
We welcome children and adults (Bigs & Littles) into this class or you are welcome to dance solo!
Roller Play. Join the Roller Play class at Art in Motion studio! Bring your roller skates and your willingness to play and dance! This class is for all levels, however it is recommended that you are generally comfortable on skates. We will start with a fun warm up on skates and get grounded in our fundamental skate movements like pivots, transitions, stepping, manuals, and edges. Then we will learn a choreographed skate dance flow, with options for more intermediate/advanced skaters as well as beginner skate dancers. The aim of this class is to connect with the playfulness and joyful expression that is roller skating and help you to feel more confident and free in your skating movements!
*Must have your own skates. Class Limit 7 skaters, you must register in advance.
