Swing Dance Workshops for Adults

Workshop series with Paul Neary

Six Mondays from 19th May, from 11.00am-12.30pm

Swing dance classes are a fun way to discover new dance steps and get fit. With a combination of partner dancing and ‘solo’ dancing, in styles including jazz and charleston, this workshop series will teach you the basic swing dance steps in a relaxed and informal setting. You’ll be out on the dance floor in no time. No partners are required, but willingness to give it a go is essential. This workshop series is presented to complement Fishamble, The New Play Company’s production Swing, and the series includes attendance at the show on the night of Wednesday 25th June. (More information about this show on p9.)

Paul Neary developed an obsession for swing dancing as a student of the internationally renowned Swing Patrol in Melbourne, Australia. After a successful stint competing and performing in Australia, Paul moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2002 where he co-founded ‘Swing Out Scotland’, and from there, to Galway, Ireland, in 2003 where his dance club ‘Galway Swing’ was born. Paul brings vast amounts of experience in teaching, competing and performing and has enjoyed sharing his love of swing with thousands of dancers over the past decade.

Swing Dance Workshops for Adults takes place over six Monday mornings commencing 19th May, from 11.00am-12.30pm (continuing May 26th; June 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th (skipping the June Bank Holiday) and Wednesday 25th June @ 8.00pm for Fishamble, The New Play Company’s production Swing. Cost per head (or pair of feet!) for the workshop series and theatre performance is 65 euro. Places are limited and booking is ESSENTIAL. Booking and further information from the Linenhall.

GLASS FUSION AT THE GLASSHOUSE, THE QUAY, WESTPORT, MAYO. 24 &25th May, 10.00-5.00 Sat & Sun

This introductory glass fusion weekend will teach how to fuse separate bits of glass together in the kiln, to make a whole panel. 

Participants will first learn the essential skill of cutting glass and throughout the course there will be practice cutting straight lines and curves. 

We will consider different effects with transparent and opaque colours, look at the effect of surface tension on holes and play with frit (powdered glass) and stringers(long thin glass rods).

Pieces finished on the first day can be taken home and the larger panels made on day 2 will be sent on during the following week.
