Ceili Class
Please join sisters Morrigan and Bridget Burns for our winter session of ceili classes. Classes begin this Thursday, 1/12, from 7-9 PM, downstairs at the Maine Irish Heritage Center (enter from the back of the building). The class will run for six weeks, and the cost is $18 for members, $30 for nonmembers for the entire session (please bring exact change if possible or a check made out to IAC at the first class). Irish ceili dancing is a social form of Irish dance, performed in groups ranging from four to sixteen. As usual, we will learn the basic Irish dance skills needed to perform ceili dancing, as well as the movements to dances often performed at Irish American Club-sponsored events. Irish dance is great exercise, so please wear comfortable clothes and sneakers or dance shoes. No partners or experience required!
Family Day
The Irish American Club has recently hosted and enjoyed a series of ‘Family Days’. Members and friends have gathered to enjoy some traditional family fun; Ping Pong, darts, games, food and dance. Despite a small turnout the experiment was a great success.
The Club will now try to reach a larger crowd in the hopes of creating a lasting activity that will be enjoyed by all.
Catherine McKenna, the Club's social director has announced the new dates.
Feb 26 April 22 June 24 Sept 23 Oct 21
The event runs from 2pm – 4pm or later. It is hosted in the downstairs hall of the Maine Irish Heritage Center on those Sunday afternoon dates. Please mark your calendar and join the fun!
