Field Trip #48: Irish Dancing

The Culkin School of Traditional Irish Dance in Silver Spring is a great example of how a local dance company can be taken advantage of for a cultural experience.

Irish Dancing is not an activity that can be mastered quickly but it can be an active field trip that can get students interested in learning more. In my experience, activities such as this give students a taste and also an appreciation for different art forms. At the end of a beginning class students not only understand how far they have to go in order to master Irish Dancing but more importantly they can watch an instructor or a video and truly be in awe of the level of skill they are watching.

The Culkin School for Traditional Irish Dance has many different levels of classes as well as different venues for them. You will want to call in order to set up an individualized class if you are going during a school day or just a one time deal and you will want to inquire about having an instructor come to you.
