Types of Irish Dances

Basic technique

Fundamentals of Irish dance, strengthening and conditioning exercises focused on achieving better posture and alignment, getting beautifully pointed feet, strengthening your ankles, increasing your flexibility and getting a full body workout.

Céilí

Pronounced "kay-lee", are social evenings where music, singing and dancing take place. As a form of Irish dance, céilí are group dances, performed in couples or trios in many different formations: lines, squares, circles, 4 to 8 couple sets... to make a long story short: great fun for all, young and old, and also the most welcoming crowd you will ever meet!

Soft shoe

A type of Irish solo dancing with soft shoes, the ones with the criss cross laces, also called 'pumps' or 'ghillies'. It is danced high on the toes with feet turned out, arms straight and legs extended. There are many similarities with classical ballet, except the Irish dancers don't 'plie', always keeping their knees pulled up. Natural grace, lightness, gliding and the illusion of flight is a signature of this dance type.

Heavy shoe

Another type of Irish solo dancing, made extremely popular by Riverdance or Lord of the Dance productions. It is performed with heavy shoes, the ones with noisy tips and heels, aso called 'jig shoes'. You start from the very basic 'shuffles' or 'trebles' (not everyone can be Michael Flatley after the first class!) progressing to more complex footwork, faster steps and exciting rhythms.
