Beginners are also eligible for this class once the basics have been taught. Ask your teacher if you can sign up!
Heavy Shoe is a powerful, percussive style of Irish dance with intricate rhythm and explosive, athletic movements. Often compared to tap dance, it makes a sound with the shoe's tip and heel and has the same technique. A dancer learns four dances in their heavy shoe: Treble Reel, Hornpipe, Heavy Jig, and a Traditional Set. Each dance has its own tempo and rhythm and different moves and patterns. Heavy shoe builds speed, power, precision, and control.
Ages 4 - 15

The Fast-Track class is a small focus group of dancers who share similarities in age, ability, eagerness, and talent. While fast-track dancers are included in the standard group class, they are also given special bonus classes to support their potential. This creates a bond among these dancers and develops the necessary work ethic needed for upper-level dancing in an upbeat way.
