We offer four workshop slots each day. Each workshop slot offers at least one class in each of our program areas:

Sean-nós and traditional singing

Sean-nós and traditional dancing

Irish language

Traditional instrumental music, both performance techniques and tunes

There is at least one class in each workshop slot that is appropriate for beginners. Come learn to dance a jig, sing a song, or say a bit in Irish!
