Ceol Gaeilge as Damhsa - Irish Music and Dance
Instructors: Sam Krawec & Laurel Walsh
Contact: samkrawec@riseup.net
Day/Time: Wednesdays, 7-8pm
Location: InfoShop, 10 Summer Street
This class provides an opportunity for anyone interested in Irish music, dancing, or Celtic culture generally to meet up and learn some fun tunes and step dances! To participate in the music making you will need a penny whistle in D. They are available in most music stores for about $10; for example Ryson's Music on Court Street has a fine selection. No background or experience is required, all are welcome to grow and learn together, starting right from basic scales and steps. As we get more comfortable with the music we'll introduce a variety of common tunes and take any requests (The Lord of the Rings music? That whistle part from The Titanic?). Students can choose to spend the hour focusing on pennywhistle or step dancing if they prefer one over the other, but classes will end with everyone playing together - music and dance are inseparable!
