Part 2 Interested in trying out Irish dance, but aren’t entirely sure? We could talk all day long about the benefits Irish dance has, physically, mentally, and socially (and we have—check out these posts to learn more!) but why don’t we let some of our dancers tell you a little more about why they love Irish dance here at SRL! We hope you’ll join us! Looking for: far-reaching life skills? “Irish Dance trained me to have a very high stamina, physically and mentally. Courtney was the best at pushing her dancers towards their goals. I know how to work towards long term goal without being worn out, and to push through to the very end.”—Lindsey Looking for: competitive spirit? “My favorite thing about dance is the competition. I like that in Irish dance you can show off how much you've learned and progressed.”—Magnus Looking for: enjoyment and self-expression? “When there are no words to explain how you feel, you express yourself through dance. I remember there would be nights when…I was tired, but when I walked through those studio doors I knew it was my time to work. And when I walked out of those doors at the end of the night, I felt like a better person.”—Lindsey Looking for: an online option? “My favorite thing about online class is I can dance at home safely and there’s more one on one with the teacher. Plus, my mom is there to help if I'm struggling.”—Avonlea Looking for: inspiration? “I look up to Courtney because she has given me a second home and something that I truly love.”—Ellie Looking for: friends? “Dance has given me the ability to have friends all around the world that share the same love and passion for Irish dance that I do.”—Christian Looking for: somewhere to learn and grow? “Irish dance was a life changing experience that provided me with so many opportunities to learn and grow. It was a daily challenge, which inspires my work ethic today. I always aim high and dream big. Through Irish Dance, I learned by working hard and practicing my craft, I could achieve anything.”—Tara Looking for: something to be passionate about? Just take Tilly’s word for it: “I like Irish dance and you will too!” If your dancer is looking for it, SRL has it!
