So this will let us know if anyone is actually still paying attention here.
Any thoughts on this past weekend? What did we do well, what can we do better next time, what needs to be added or dropped?
I enjoyed this one even more than last year's. The organized stuff afterwards was a nice touch; it included everyone who wanted to go, and left it open as to how long you wanted to participate, and your level of participation. I'm just upset that I never got to see Seán actually do any dancing.
I think that the two-teacher format worked well for us; our class was able to stretch a little bit without leaving too many people behind, whereas the reports I've heard from the beginners indicated that they were mostly able to focus on the fundamentals without boring too many. If size and money (and planning time) permit, I think we'd even do well with three teachers next time around.
It appeared everyone enjoyed the classes and post class activities.
Hopefully we can expand to 3 levels next year; Búnleibhéal, Meánleibhéal agus Ardleibhéal.
This should ensure it isn't too difficult or too easy for anyone!
The only thought I currently have beyond the 3 levels is to break out the dinner/céilí option. This would be so those who want to go to the classes only won't feel they are paying for a portion of something that they will not attend.
I will say that you wouldn't get a much cheaper night out that included, Dinner, Dancing, Music, Unlimited Non-Alcoholic drinks and one Alcoholic drink (from a limited, but varied selection)
With the teachers in attendance there was additional opportunity to practice your Irish after class as well.
