First Lesson Is Free!
All new dancers are offered a free-trial class before officially registering. This applies to all classes except the pre-beginner classes (since pre-beginner classes are organized into 6-week sessions).
Solo Dancing Lessons
Lessons will begin with the basics. Soft shoe dances will be taught first, then the dancer will progress to hard shoe dances. As the dancer improves they will learn more advanced-level dances. Classes are structured to prepare the dancer for competition, however, competition is never required.
Ceili (or Team) Lessons
As soon as a dancer masters the basics of soft shoe solo dancing, they will be invited to particpate in ceili (or team) dancing. Ceili dances include anywhere from 2 to 8 dancers. Ceili teams can compete in Irish dancing competitions, called feiseanna, however, competition is never required.
