Ronan teaches the older beginners and the adult classes, and calls the dances at ceili night.
Adults
Adult classes
Evening classes for adults who have never danced, adults who danced once and a monthly ceili night.
Adults start in the same intro workshop as everyone else, then join the Monday evening beginner class or the Thursday open level. Ceili night is a Friday evening once a month, with group dances called by the teacher. No partner is needed.
