South Bend Irish Arts is bringing Irish music and dance to TMV with two new programs:
Youth Irish Music & Dance Ensemble
South Bend Irish Arts is bringing Irish music and dance to The Music Village (TMV) through a new youth program focused on joyful learning, strong fundamentals, and community connection.
​
Students will be placed into Beginner or Intermediate levels for both music and dance during class. Placement is based on experience, readiness, and comfort level, and may be adjusted as students grow. This ensures that each child is supported and appropriately challenged.​​
Fridays after school, 3:45-5 pm
January 30- May 15
(No class Spring Break, TBA, and Good Friday)
Age 7-12
Adult Irish Dance Tunes
Learn how to play Irish dance tunes with the
South Bend Céilí Band!
​
In this course, students will improve their timing, rhythm, and phrasing as they learn traditional Irish dance tunes and play them in a group setting.
​
All experience levels are welcome. While this course will be easier for students who can already play a few tunes at speed on their instrument, highly motivated beginners will be able to keep up.
Thursday Evenings, 6-7:15 pm
January 8- February 26.
(No class Spring Break, TBA, and Good Friday). Age 18+
