Riverdance cast member teaches Irish Dance at Trackside

An exciting new class is coming to Trackside Teen Center for teens who have always wanted to try Irish Dance. The iconic dance style made famous through shows like Riverdance and Lord of the Dance is popular among competitive dancers, but this new class at Trackside is all about having fun with Irish Dance. Wilton teens in grades 6 and up are invited to enjoy learning the basics of Irish Dance with Riverdance cast member, Meghan Lucey.

Certified to teach through An Coimisiun Le Rinci Gaelacha in Dublin, Meghan has spent the past several years performing across the globe. In addition to touring both abroad and in the US with Riverdance since 2007, Meghan has made several TV appearances including Riverdance: On Ice in 2011, America’s Got Talent with the Irish Dance/Hip Hop crew Hammerstep in 2013, and The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2015. Meghan has just completed another run with the National Tour of Riverdance and is looking forward to teaching Irish Dance in Connecticut.

The Irish Dance class at Trackside will emphasize the fun and enjoyment of Irish Dance for students. Beginners are welcome to join, as are students with prior dance experience. New shoes or dance outfits do not need to be purchased. Students are required to wear comfortable clothing and sneakers. Students who already own dance or jazz shoes are encouraged to bring them to class. Classes will be held on Mondays from 4-5pm beginning September 19^th and ending November 14^th. Classes will not be held on days when Wilton schools are closed.

Class registration is available online at www.trackside.org. A class fee of $120 ($20 per class) may be submitted with online registration, or by check or cash. Questions or concerns may be directed to Trackside Program Director Amy Nassef at (203) 834-2888 or Amy@trackside.org.
