This year we’ve partnered with and look forward to teaching a bit of jiggin in sat & sun 23/24th July!

Do you ever find yourself tapping your toes while the music starts in the bar? Does the sound of every fiddle or drum beat make you want to dance as if you were on tour with River Dance? Only kidding. Truthfully though, if you have thought about Irish Dancing, but don’t know where to start, or what to do, and think that there is no hope because you are no longer a kid and not in an organised setting; then this might just be an option. Learn To Jig has designed an easy, up from the sofa, no strings attached opportunity to learn the basics and have fun; either to progress or to pick up the odd session. It’s used by those who might not have the time to commit to longer classes, or as a way to keep fit, or just for the craic. In any case, it’s an opportunity to meet new people and learn the art of Irish Dance.

This session will be a snapshot, an “eye opener” as it were, with the chance to meet one of the experienced dance teachers, learn some moves and have some well deserved whiskies in the process. Comfy Clothes are a must.

Timeslot: 3pm-6pm
Start Time: 3pm
Duration: 2hrs
Venue: Nancy Mulligans
Drinks: 3 Drams
Type: Dancing

While we now associate Irish dance with competition and performance, it was originally a social dance that was enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, traditional Irish social dances are still popular today, and many people learn Irish dance as a way to connect with their heritage and community.

Learn To Jig was established to do exactly that. ‘Bring more people the chance to Irish Dance’

We heard many of times over the years that people missed out on Irish Dancing as a child because it wasn’t offered at their school, or it clashed with something else they were doing. Our 8-week programmes are the chance to learn Irish dancing.

We have dedicated classes especially for adults. If you fancy learning a new hobby, get in touch!

16/05/2023

Last week we kicked of the first set of our 2 live 8-week programmes.

Get in touch if you’ve something special coming up with friends, colleague or family & would love something fun to do together!

‘Giving more people the chance to Irish Dance’

11/05/2023

On Thursdays we do after school clubs in Stranmillis. In our last 8 week programme all our dancers had learned their beginners reel. What an achievement!

Irish dancing isn’t just about learning to dance. It’s learning about commitment, team work, balance, timing to music, routine and discipline. It’s so much more than learning how to move your feet. It teaches children life skills they’ll carry with them through the years. 🫶🏼

11/05/2023

The second of our 8-week programmes to start in May is happening tonight in Carryduff!

We’re SO excited. 🫶🏼

If you’re joining us tonight give this a share, or if you’re getting FOMO and want to join- drop us a message!
