REGISTER NOW!  Join all the fun from St. Patrick’s Day to the Cincinnati Celtic Festival to performing and feising!  We are now accepting registrations for both our Youth and Adult Beginner Classes.

Youth Beginner classes are offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Classes are 45 minutes and children learn the basics of Irish dancing – posture, foot placement, timing, “threes” and “sevens”.  Our Irish dancing classes focus on the whole child as we build self-esteem, physical coordination and fun friendships!   Youth dancers may begin as young as 5.  We accept dancers into our Youth Beginner classes up to the age of 14.

Adult Beginner classes are offered on Mondays.  Classes are 60 minutes and adult dancers will also learn the basics of Irish dancing.  The Adult Beginner class integrates the soft shoe dances with group/ceili dancing.  No previous dance experience required.  Come and dance for the social and health benefits: flexibility, strength, endurance and sense of well-being!
