The Butterfly Slip Jig - In-Person dance workshop!
Back by popular demand! 🥳
Please note, the advanced discounted rate is no longer available. You can purchase you place here - or in person on Sunday.
Step with Annette is excited to offer another workshop at the Cobblestone, teaching relatively new choreography to a popular session tune called:
"The Butterfly", a 3 part slip jig, 9/8 rhythm
Come and enjoy this wonderful percussive dance. This workshop is appropriate for an intermediate level dancer - if necessary, Annette can run the workshop at 2 levels. Annette learned this dance from Maria Monakova, in an online workshop.

Watch Annette dance it here:
Maria & Annette have never met in person, but meet at a weekly dance session of percussive dancers from all around the globe. Sharing steps and stories, and their love of dance.

In the summer of 2024, Annette performed this piece at
- The Willie Clancy Festival - Co Clare
- Folk LT - Lithuania
- Rencontres Musicales Irlandese - Tocane - France
- Le Grand Bal de l'Europe - aussi / also in France
Annette looks forward to leading you in dance - her reputation as a teacher of traditional dance grew hugely during covid, due to her online programme which reached as far west as Seattle, and east to Japan - teaching to a growing community of old style dancers from all around the world.
Between May 2020 and June 2024 Annette delivered 14 courses of dance, at 4 levels - as well as private online classes and workshops.
You may be interested to know that there is live music in the main bar of the Cobblestone from 14.30hrs, as well as a Balfolk dance event at 16.00hrs - traditional dances of Europe - instruction is included. Free entry, with a suggested donation of €5. I plan to stay for this event and lead some of the dances.
"Research has proven that dance is one of the best forms of activity for keeping the body active and the mind alert."
