  • Call your desired schools and ask questions: class locations, facility information, tuition and registration costs, volunteering requirements and costume requirements. Other information you may be interested in includes options for performances, grade exams and competition. Some schools offer cross training, workshops, or private lessons. Many schools offer team (Céilí) dancing as well as solo dancing. Each school creates their own syllabus and fee structure. All schools are affordable, accessible and fun for beginners!

“IRISH DANCING HAS HELPED MY DANCER GAIN SO MUCH CONFIDENCE, STRENGTH AND SKILL. WE HAVE BEEN WELCOMED INTO THE COMMUNITY AS A FAMILY AND WE ENJOY DOING LOCAL PERFORMANCES AND TRAVELLING WITH OUR CLASS TO REGIONAL COMPETITIONS. MY DANCER DOESN’T WALK ANYMORE, SHE SKIPS AND BOUNCES EVERYWHERE SHE GOES!” S.W. - Saskatoon Parent

“MY KIDS LOVE IRISH DANCING. WE HAD TRIED BALLET, SOCCER, AND MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES, BUT ONCE WE TRIED AN IRISH DANCE CLASS WE NEVER LOOKED BACK. WE ALL LOVE THE MUSIC AND THE FUN EVENTS WE ATTEND TOGETHER. MY KIDS ARE SO MOTIVATED AND LOOK FORWARD TO CLASS EVERY WEEK.” G.C. - Edmonton Parent

“OUR DAUGHTER WAS IN COMPETITIVE DOWNHILL SKIING AS A YOUTH. WE SIGNED HER UP FOR IRISH DANCING AS A FORM OF CROSSTRAINING, AND FOR A BIT OF FUN ON TUESDAY EVENINGS WITH SOME NEIGHBOURHOOD FRIENDS. SHE HAD NO INTENTION TO COMPETE IN A SERIOUS WAY, BUT AFTER SHE DID HER FIRST FEIS, SHE WAS ADDICTED! WE’VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD REPRESENTING THE REGION AND SHE’S ACHIEVED A LOT OF SUCCESS, AND HAS HAD A LOT OF VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS TOO!” N.H. - Calgary Parent
