Our mission is to provide a positive,friendly environment in which our students can not only learn about Irish dance, music,and culture, but also develop self-esteem, confidence, and lasting friendships. While much of Irish Step Dance is individual in nature, we encourage a team atmosphere in which dancers support each other as they strive for a common goal. Join us!
Our dance school offers classes for both children and adults throughout the year. No class size will ever exceed 15 dancers, because our teachers value the importance of individualized attention and guidance. Beginner classes will focus on the fundamentals of Irish Dance and music, with each student learning soft shoe dances. Advanced beginners will not only learn more challenging soft shoe dances, but also the fundamentals of hardshoe dancing. All levels will also learn team dances, which are used both in performance and competition.
Our school holds classes at the Knights of Columbus hall in Derwood, MD and at Two Left Feet in the Kentlands. For directions or a map, please click here.
Dance is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself" ~ Havelock Ellis
