Irish classes and activities resume in Strule Arts Centre, Omagh on Wednesday 27 April and runs for a total of 8 weeks.

From 6:00pm–7:00pm the popular sean-nós and set dancing class will give participants the opportunity to learn these traditional forms of Irish dancing.  Both are a great form of exercise as well as being a very enjoyable social activity that lifts the mind.  All levels are catered for in this class.

Singing in Irish in a group setting takes place between 7 pm and 8 pm.  This is also a very enjoyable social activity and an effective way of learning Irish.  It involves learning popular traditional songs in Irish in a group setting.

The Irish language classes in Strule Arts Centre run from 8 pm–9:30 pm on Wednesday nights.  Beginner, improver and advanced levels are all catered for in these formally structured classes that emphasise the speaking of Irish.

A Ciorcal Comhrá (conversation circle) will also take place on-line every Friday from 1:00pm–2:00pm. This activity gives Irish speakers and learners the opportunity to practice speaking Irish in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The classes in Strule Arts Centre can be booked online at www.strulearts.co.uk or by phoning Box Office at 028 82247831.
