Set dancing classes on Wednesday nights in Dublin City, Ireland
Wednesdays 8pm - 10 pm, in:
The Edmund Hall, Marino Institute of Education
Charlemont, Griffith Avenue,
Dublin 9
Everyone Welcome!
Wednesday night dance classes in Dublin City:
Join us on: Wed 29th Feb 2012 at 8pm
Learn set dancing, join in the Ceili and enjoy the craic!
Everyone welcome, partner not required. People who have never done set dancing before are especially welcome - come along,
give it a try, there is nothing to lose and a lot to gain!
The most common reaction of people who try set dancing for the first time is "it's really
great fun, I wish I had found out about this years ago!". There is absolutely nothing to lose by coming along and giving it a
try - if you decide it's not for you, there is no obligation whatsoever to come back again. One thing for sure is that you will
be made welcome. The majority of people come along on their own and we are all delighted to see new people coming through the door
for the first time, whether they are men on their own, women on their own, or couples. Within minutes, you will feel totally at
home with a friendly bunch of people, who are out to enjoy the craic. In addition to the weekly class, some of the gang meet up
at local festivals and ceilis throughout the year, where the craic continues. You will not find a more fun way to exercise!
