Frequently asked questions
Irish dance is a powerful, athletic, and musical art form rooted in centuries of Irish tradition. It blends fast, intricate footwork with a strong, upright posture — a combination that demands coordination, rhythm, strength, and discipline. Solo stepdance (the form most people recognize) is defined by rapid leg and foot movements while the upper body remains still, creating a striking contrast between explosive energy and poised control.
Dancers grow through progressive levels, advancing technique and performance skill as they develop. At its heart, Irish dance offers much more than steps: it builds strength, rhythm, musical awareness, discipline, and confidence.
Our classes are led by a certified T.C.R.G. (teacher certified by An Coimisiún le Rincà Gaelacha) with 20 years of competitive, performance, and coaching experience — including world-level achievements and professional touring credits.
Additional instructors are carefully selected, trained, and mentored to deliver the same high standard of technique, structure, and dancer development.
For the first few weeks, dancers only need:
Comfortable clothing they can easily move in
Hair secured out of the face
Socks, trainers, ballet flats or jazz shoes
A water bottle
Once dancers begin formal beginner classes, teachers will guide families on the appropriate footwear and attire.
Not at all. We welcome brand-new beginners, returning dancers, and athletes from other sports. Our curriculum is structured so every dancer learns strong fundamentals from the start.
We currently offer programs starting at age 4, with introductory and beginner pathways designed to meet dancers where they are developmentally, physically, and mentally. As the school grows, additional age-specific programs may be added.
We encourage independence and focus during training, so classes are closed unless otherwise specified. Parents are invited to designated observation days or showcases when offered.
Yes. We train dancers for recreational enjoyment and for competitive advancement. Dancers are highly encouraged to compete once they have the foundational skills necessary, and all competition decisions are guided by the instructor.
