Irish Dancers discussion

I've always been competitive, so I'd like to ask the noncompetitive dancers: What do you do in class? Is it different?

Well, here's how my classes go:

1. Stretch
We start out with listening to any kind of music, really, and we stretch for a song or two or three. XD We sometimes stretch as a group, sometimes individually

2. Across the floor
We usually do softshoe stuff first, across the floor! Our teacher makes up combinations and we do them across the floor sometimes, or just go over basic moves.

3. Work on dance
We put on our shoes and work on our dance for the rest of class, really! XD

So, that's how our classes go!

So what are the dances you learn like?
