Footwork for Sets Workshops – Four Class Series with Pádraig McEneany

FOOTWORK FOR SETS WORKSHOPS:  JOIN US FOR A FOUR CLASS SERIES on footwork for set dancing with Pádraig McEneany.   Sessions will be held on January 16, 23, 30 and February 6 at 10:00 am PST / 1:00 pm EST.  These one-hour Sunday classes will be held on Zoom and are offered free of charge to Comhaltas members.  The sessions are co-sponsored by the Sliabh Sandia New Mexico CCE branch and the Sliabh Sandia Set Dancers.  This is a great opportunity to learn Clare and Connemara reel steps and other steps for reels, jigs, and polkas if you are a beginner set dancer or to refine your battering steps if you are a more advanced dancer.  Pádraig does a great job of building footwork and battering for all skill levels.

Louth.  Pádraig was a member of the Slievenamon Set Dancers with Connie Ryan and has since performed and taught in the U.S., Ireland, U.K., Italy, Germany, Canada and other locations around the world.
