Children in the junior classes are currently enjoying a module of Irish dance classes.
Much like storytelling, Gaelic games and traditional music, Irish dancing is an integral part of Ireland’s history culture and heritage.
Irish dancing provides physical benefits such as increased stamina, core strength and general overall fitness. It will also improve balance, posture and coordination, as well as promote flexibility and increased muscle strength. Mental benefits include learning to listen, follow directions and memory building. Dance teaches children to have empathy and understanding as not everyone learns the same way, dance encourages inclusion and acceptance of each other’s differences.
Many thanks to our dance teacher Ms. Lucy Murphy for her hard work and making dance fun for everyone!
