Instances participate! . It is a chance for beginners to showcase their progress and gain confidence on stage in a supportive and friendly environment.
Moving up to the next level, dancers will advance through the grades at their own pace. These classes focus on building strength, technique, and performance skills. Dancers will start wearing the appropriate dance shoes and may have the option to participate in external competitions and performances.
For those who want to take their skills to the next level, the Academy offers competitive classes. These classes are for experienced dancers who are dedicated to training, competing, and potentially representing the Academy at national and international competitions. The competitive classes provide intensive training and support from coaches who have themselves competed at high levels.
Apart from regular classes, the Academy also offers workshops, masterclasses, and summer schools with guest teachers and choreographers. These opportunities allow dancers to learn from industry professionals and gain new insights into Irish dance.
