Social dances are dances that have a social function and context. Social dances are intended for participation rather than performance. They are often danced merely to socialise and for entertainment, though they may have ceremonial, competitive and erotic functions
The social dances we offer in The Dance Club Kilkenny is:
​
Bachata - style of social dance from the Dominican Republic, bachata is slower and kind of suave (smooth)
​
Salsa - style of social dance from Cuba and Pueto Rico, salsa music tends to be faster y picante (spicy)
​
Wedding Choreography - I will create a simple wedding dance choreography that is easy to perform and makes you look good and confident on your wedding day.
​
Hen/Stag Parties - We offer a range of hen party activity packages to suit all budgets for that unique experience with our hen gang!
​
Irish Dancing - Step into the culture and learn about our traditions by learning Irish figure dancing to typical Irish Music. A fun and Interactive Workshop
​

​
Dance Fitness is a unique form of exercise because it provides the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise which is low intensity/ low impact while also allowing you to engage in a social activity. – Helps with weight loss (Salsa Dancing on average Burns off 420 + calories per hour).
