Adult Ceili Club Winter Session

Looking for a way to beat the winter doldrums and burn calories?  Welcome to the Winter Session of the Erickson Academy Adult Ceili Club and learn the traditional group dances of Ireland.  No dance experience is necessary nor are any dancing shoes – just soft rubber soled shoes or socks.  We will learn the ABCs of ceili/group dancing – 3s and 7s (although basic skipping will do)!  This is a social, recreational class.  To register, please send us an email at EricksonDance@aol.com.  Paperwork can be completed at the first class attended.

We are currently accepting new Beginners ages 5 & up.  A new Beginners class will start on Saturday, January 12th, 9:30am - 10:15am, in Studio A.  To receive Registration Materials, please email ericksondance@aol.com with your mailing address or call 513-232-1366.  In order to register, the Registration Fee is $25.00 and January Tuition is $35.00.

We have moved from our location on Sherman Avenue.  Our new, more spacious studio is located at 673 Wilmer Avenue, near the Lunken Field Airport.  You can get directions using Google Maps.

We have taken over the space where Cowan’s Antique Auctions was located.  The space is on the 2nd floor and is accessed from the rear of the building.  We are next to the racquet club and almost directly across from the entrance of Lunken Playfield (a perfect excuse for parents to go for a run/bike ride, hit some golf balls or take the siblings to the infamous Land of Make-Believe).  For some of you this means an additional 5 minute drive to the studio and for others, 5 minutes less.

We’ll have . . . .

Space to Dance - We’ll still have 2 studio dance floors although one will be almost twice as large as one of our existing sides and the other will be about the same.  Good news for dancers who move alot on stage!

Space to Observe - Our roomy waiting area will have observation windows where parents can see what their dancers are learning.

Space to Park - You’ll also have plenty of space to park with more than 30 parking places available in a paved lot — hooray, no more jockeying for position in the gravel lot :)!

As you can tell, there’s a lot to leap about and we can’t wait for your dancers to leap on over to our new location for the 2007-2008 year!
