Our First Irish Step Dance Class

Cries of "watch my feet!" rang out of the Newtown Boarding School gym, as our Irish Way group had their first Irish step dance class. This time-honored and often embarrassing tradition is one of the most treasured of the Irish Way experience. Counselor Aileen led a fun class, with lots of giggling among the students. Some of our more experienced dancers like Clare and Mary Kate, were able to help the others in their 3s and 7s. After class was over, Ali proclaimed the half-hour "culturally expanding." Partners, Betsey and TJ found it "invigorating and exciting," slyly adding "we did good!"
