Background:                          Kay has taught several workshops over the years in Ireland, hosted by:  Karin Mallon, Lisa Collins and, most recently, Adele Glenn.  Several people have mentioned how difficult it is to travel to England for events and how they would love to have different things available in Ireland.  Having recently run a similar project in Newcastle, Kay decided to bring it to Belfast.  Students from the last course ranged from teachers to students ‘desperate to develop’!  Many said how much it had improved their confidence and they felt it pushed them as dancers.
