About Us
Our goals are to provide students with the skills of traditional Irish Step Dancing and confidence when performing. At the end of every class, we want our students to leave with a feeling of accomplishment, motivation to practice, and eagerness to come back and continue to advance their knowledge and skills. With our combined experience and passion for teaching and sharing our love of Irish dance, we take pride in sharing our experiences and love for this unique skill with our dancers.
