ADTC Irish Dance Camps
Irish dance, or Irish stepdance, is characterized by a rigid torso and steps performed high on the balls of the feet. For the last few centuries, especially during turbulent political and social times, Irish stepdance has become an integral part of fostering community spirit, national identity, and cultural pride. Irish dance has been popularized by the Broadway show Riverdance since the late 20th century. Some 25 years later, Riverdance is still wildly popular. In fact, it is often credited for bringing Irish dance to the attendion of a global audience.
Irish Dance Classes @ ADTC Overnight Camps
Irish dance may be offered as the World Dance elective class during your ADTC session. Our World Dance elective is at the same time as our ballet/tap electives, but does not interfere with afternoon activities. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or experienced performer, we have a fun & challenging irish dance class that will have you dancing your favorite Riverdance stars in just one week. You’ll dance to the latest Irish dance music while working on movements influenced by some of today’s hottest Irish dancers. You’ll even learn a full Irish dance performance piece!
