ADULT SOCIAL IRISH DANCE

Our adult Irish dancing social classes are about having fun, learning how to Irish dance (with a focus on Ceili dancing) and making friends. These classes will be held directly after the adult Irish music class, where we can enjoy a champagne at the end. Why not try both?

Learn to play the tin whistle or the Irish drum 'bodhran'. Taught by a qualified music teacher from Ireland who has experience teaching kids in a classroom environment, your child will learn the basics and popular Irish tunes.

An absolutely beautiful Irish dance Academy… our girl flourished in many ways and as a little family we had a ball meeting all who are part of this beautiful academy. Miss you dearly and wish you many wonderful years ahead. Well done.
