All Hawaii Irish Dance dancers, friends, family members, and newcomers are invited to our Irish dance and music sessions. 

Dancers: no specialized clothing or shoes are required, but please wear comfortable shoes that will stay on your feet as you dance (please no slippers, sandals, or high heels - they may become a tripping hazard for you). Please also note that the dance surface will be concrete.
The level of instruction and calling depends on who shows up - dances may be taught if needed. However, this is not intended to be a class, and instruction will be limited. 

Musicians: There is a standing open call for anyone who might be interested in participating in session-style playing at our casual ceilis. Musicians of any level and on any instrument you can transport to Anna's are welcome. Tunes will generally be played at dance tempo.
Musicians are also more than welcome to join in the dancing. 

For more information, dancers please contact Nicole at hawaii.irishdance@gmail.com
musicians please contact Clark at clark@celticwaves.net
