Portland Irish Music and Dance Meetup

Brush Dance In this workshop we cover the basics of the traditional Irish brush dance. The brush dance is done with a brush or broom. There are many stories behind the brush dance. One story is that it was performed by the Travelers when they went from house to house selling items, including brushes(brooms). It is told that they would perform the dance and display the brush. All levels. Please bring a broom (no vacuum cleaners), a water bottle, a notebook or a recording devise and comfortable clothes (no skirts, they get hooked on the broom!). Shoes: leather soled shoe or tap shoes are best. $20 drop-in
