Colgate University Irish Dance Club

Colgate University Irish Dance Club is an extracurricular activity that, through learning the techniques of Irish dance, inherently creates bonds between students and creates leadership roles. By bringing students together to do something they love, they will gain the personal satisfaction of improving their skills and helping others achieve their goals. By joining Irish dance club, students will be given the opportunity to work together to achieve a goal (to perform a great choreography at Dancefest), improve their dancing skills, bond with other students, learn about the history of Irish dance and Irish culture, and most of all, learn about teamwork and working with others. We hope to improve ourselves as dancers and leaders as well as to enrich the Colgate University community through the exposure of a unique art that has yet to be introduced to Dancefest and campus. Irish Dance Club will be open to all students that wish to participate, regardless of gender and experience.Sharing the culture of Irish step dancing and bringing creativity and modernity to the traditional forms of Irish dance.
