Step Into the Fun — Intro to Irish Dance at McGovern Irish Dance
Have you ever watched Irish dancers and thought, “That looks amazing — but could I really do that?”
The answer is yes! Our Intro to Irish Dance classes are the perfect way to jump in, move your feet, and discover the joy of Irish dance in a welcoming, light-hearted setting.
Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, a great workout, or just something different for your child to try this season, this class is a fun, low-pressure way to start. You’ll learn the basics, meet our friendly teachers, and feel the energy that makes Irish dance so special.
What to Expect
Each class is filled with movement, music, and laughter. We’ll start with a warm-up, then guide you through easy Irish dance steps like “1-2-3s” and “7s.” These are the building blocks for every Irish dance — and before you know it, you’ll be dancing simple reels and jigs with confidence.
You don’t need any dance experience, special shoes, or fancy gear. Just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a water bottle), wear comfortable clothes, and get ready to move.
Why You’ll Love It
Irish dance is more than a workout — though you’ll definitely feel it in the best way! It’s about rhythm, balance, focus, and connection. Our dancers gain confidence, make friends, and feel a real sense of accomplishment as they master new steps.
