Please join us for beginner-friendly Irish set dances at the Wil-Mar on the second Saturday of the month from 2-5pm. Our next dance is on July 12th, with recorded music. We'll return to live music in September!
Don't worry if you're not a seasoned set dancer - all dances will be called. We'll be using gender-neutral (raven/lark) terminology. No partner necessary. Please bring clean, non-scuffing shoes and a mug or water bottle!
A suggested donation of $10 contributes to the room rental and music, but no one will be excluded due to inability to pay.
When: Saturdays, July 12th and August 9th, from 2-5pm! Everyone is welcome!
