Step dancing

I recently had the pleasure of going to a Natalie MacMaster concert and saw her do some impressive step dancing. I think step dancing looks like a lot of fun, because I like percussion, and dancing, and step dancing is percussion plus dancing. Woohoo! But I’ve been having a hard time finding step dancing classes in Ottawa. I did manage to find this list of teachers, but most of them don’t have websites. Also, I would prefer to learn the Cape Breton or Quebec style, rather than the Ottawa Valley style, since I like the low legs and still upper torso aspect of those two types of step dancing. This article explains the different types, and also explains the different types of dances- jig, reel, etc.
