What do I need for my first class?

Dancers wear shorts and t-shirts and bring a water bottle. Ballet slippers or bare feet work great to start!

What is a good age to start Irish dance?

We accept children ages 4 and up to our Beginners program.

Where can I purchase Irish dance shoes and products?

Irish dance products are available locally from Sandra’s Irish Dance Shop. Information for Diaga Irish Dance costuming and class wear is available in our Members Hub and parents often swap gear on our Facebook members page

Is my child required to compete?

No they are not, but it is encouraged! There are several Feiseanna or “Festivals” in our region, which are both competitions and social events. In addition to competitions, our school has a robust performance program. We perform at dozens of events throughout the year and provide opportunities for students of all levels to participate. You get to pick the participation level that is right for your family!

How does the schedule work?

Our classes run in 3 terms. September-December, January-March, April-June.

Classes are available in July for competitive dancers, and private lessons are available in August.

Classes are cancelled for statutory holidays.

Can I bring friends and family to recitals?

Absolutely! Our recitals are free and open to the public. Events and details are listed on our Facebook page

Where can I find Irish dance music for home practice?

The Feis App is free for Beginner tunes and speeds. Download on Google Play or iTunes
