Scoil Rince Luimni is connecticut's only "jump'n jig" studio -
the complete irish dancing pre-school!

We are proud to follow the curriculum developed by Fiona Holmes ADCRG, Irish dancing adjudicator and early childhood educator, called Jump’n Jig! We are the only studio in the state of Connecticut to have this curriculum and we love it! From little friendly touches that make dancers feel welcome, to the very logical progression of movements, helps make dancing a special event in your dancer’s week.

TINY JIG - Ages 2-3    Tiny Jig is offered as 30 minute classes; we have two slots on the schedule but students only need to attend one. Tiny Jig is offered Mondays 5:00-5:30pm and Saturdays 9:30-10:00am. 

    The key benefits of the Tiny Jig program include:

• Accelerated motor skill development through simple, consistent, and progressive movements and exercises
• Music appreciation and listening activities incorporated to develop musicality 
• Increased independence from a parent or caregiver; dance class is often the first activity our Tiny Jigs have done by themselves and we help them feel comfortable being ‘big kids!’ Say goodbye to separation anxiety!
• Opportunities for students to practice and develop social skills through activities with their same-age peers and their instructor, such as taking turns, sharing attention, and raising our hand to speak

Tiny Jig students must be 2 years old and potty trained or wear a fresh diaper. This is not a "mommy and me" class and we work hard to help students join class independently.

PRE-BEGINNER - Ages 4-5   Pre-Beginner is offered as 30 minute classes; we have two slots on the schedule but students only need to attend one. Tiny Jig is offered Mondays 5:30-6:00pm and Saturdays 10:10-10:40am.

The key benefits of the Pre-Beginner program include:

• Motor skill and dance-specific skill building that transition well from Tiny Jig and setting Pre-Beginners up for a successful transition to Beginner I; Tiny Jig is not a prerequisite for Pre-Beginner
• Music appreciation and listening activities incorporated to develop musicality and sense of timing
• Opportunities for students to practice and develop social skills through activities with their same-age peers and their instructor
• Learning to always try their best and having grace with themselves while they learn

New for 2021 - Both Tiny Jig & Pre-Beginner programs have special events offered throughout the year for additional opportunities to learn, grow, and become independent and confident individuals!

"We love the friendly atmosphere and room to grow. We just completed my daughters first season
​and she has not stopped " jump 2,3ing" around the house!"

"Our young dancers feel like they belong at SRL, they know they are Irish dancers even though they have just begun. This is directly related to the staff interaction, and teachers and director speaking to them by name when they are there."
