Join us for this online “come-and-try” step dance workshop as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig, led by Scottish Step Dancer, Sophie Stephenson.
Step dance is a fun, active and social activity for all ages. This session is designed especially for beginners, with no previous dance experience required. The workshop will give you the opportunity to actively engage with traditional music and Gaelic culture, through dance. You will learn percussive style dance steps to strathspeys, jigs and reels. For wee ones, it helps them to learn rhythm and improve their coordination whilst, for adults it is a gentle way to improve stamina and strengthen muscles. Advised to wear hard soled shoes and bring a bottle of water!
Open to participants anywhere in the world, this online workshop offers a relaxed and supportive space to explore step dance, learn something new, and celebrate Gaelic culture during Seachdain na Gàidhlig. The class will be delivered in English, with Gaelic words, numbers, and simple phrases woven throughout, giving participants the opportunity to engage with Gaelic language and culture through dance and movement.
The class will be live on Zoom, with the option to receive a recorded version of the class if you can’t make it live.
