​Timetable



MADDEN'S BELFAST - EACH WEDNESDAY 

Join the craic in dance! 
😊

A weekly event - a mixed level class / dance session 

"Maddens bar, even though it resides in the heart of the city, epitomises tradition, warmth and craic; it is renowned for its vibrant traditional music scene."

Each Wednesday from 7.30-9pm 'Step with Annette'  will host an open dance floor session in 2 parts:

a) 30-40 minutes of tuition in old style step dancing, 1 or 2 new steps each week, perhaps 1 easy step and a more advanced step, as the sessions progress there will be some revision of previously taught steps/dances, or dances already known by those attending.  

b) 50-60 minutes of 'open dance floor', repeating the taught step/s and building on repertoire each week, step-about will be encouraged. Between the solo dances, Annette will teach some simple 2-hand dances from Donegal.  

The aim is to get people dancing outside the classroom environment, while also attracting people who are curious about dance and are keen to try a few simple steps - ie something for everyone.
