What to expect at a Deiseil workshop
Come and Try Stepdance
Learn to create rhythms with your feet in a stepdance workshop with Alison Carlyle and Amy Geddes. In this class you'll hear tunes and learn steps from our show, Deiseil: Dancing in Time.
Open to all, family friendly – wear comfortable shoes, hard soles ideal, and bring a bottle of water.
PLaying for stepdance
Playing for stepdance is both fun and stimulating. In these workshops we will focus on pulse, beat and rhythm, using tunes and steps to explore the fundamentals of music and dance.
Suitable for intermediate and upwards musicians. While Amy is a fiddle player, you can play with stepdance with many other instruments. If you play another instrument, please get in touch and we will try to accommodate you.
Workshops for dancers and musicians
These workshops combine dance and music: as a dancer you'll learn how to create rhythms with your feet, and as a musician you'll learn how to play tunes for percussive dancing.
As well as separate sessions for musicians and dancers, we will spend time learning together, creating a deeper understanding of how the dance is part of the music. A joyful exploration of how to “talk” to each other with our instruments and feet.
All levels of dancers welcome, even if you've never danced before - wear comfortable shoes, hard soles ideal. Suitable for intermediate upwards musicians.
Workshop was excellent. I am a beginner but inspired me to try and keep step dancing. Easy to understand step by step!
