BEGINNER Program - ages 6-16

Be a part of something bigger than Irish dance - a community of families that support each other's goals, enrich each other's lives, and work together to instill strong values all through the medium of Irish dance.

Beginner I is our program from new students ages 6-16, though typically students are between 6 and 12. This is a 60 minute class and students learn a lot in their first year! Your dancer will be placed in a class appropriate for their age and experience level - many dancers come in with NO dance experience in any style - and taught by a passionate instructor in a structured, successful curriculum.  Dancers are taken through a familiar structure each week with a warm up, skills across the floor and in place, learning the beginner reel and light jig, and ending with a stretch. 

Beginner I is offered for ages 6-12 on Mondays 6:15-7:15pm, Thursdays 5:15-6:15pm, and Saturdays 10:45am-11:45am.

The key benefits of the Beginner I program include:

• Learning a unique skill that keeps students engaged with quick movements and individual pacing
• Structured classes so students know what to expect each week and look forward to adding more skills
• Meeting students outside of their school district and town of residence
• Learning to set, work towards, and achieve small goals throughout the year
• Opportunities to perform in our local community for events and St Patrick’s Day; this is a huge confidence builder as stage fright is very normal.
• Each class has an assistant to help with pacing and individual attention for students.
