CLASS FAQs

  • No! To start out, joggers/running shoes will be all that is required. If your child wants to continue classes in Term 2 or if they advance quickly, then Anna will discuss with you when it would be appropriate to purchase their first pair of Irish dancing shoes.

  • General athletic wear (bike shorts, tshirts, joggers) is fine, but girls may also choose to wear a ballet-like leotard and skirt if they wish to do so. We ask that long hair is tied back off the face, and that all dancers bring a clearly-labelled water bottle to all classes!

  • Pre-beginner and Beginner classes are 30 minutes long. Advanced Beginner classes run for 1 hour.

  • Parents of pre-beginners are welcome to stay for the class with their child. For Beginner level and above, we ask that parents wait outside of the classroom during the class.

  • Absolutely! Irish dance basics are the same for boys and girls, and Irish dance is an athletic mix of art and sport that boys can really excel in!

  • Pre-beginner and Beginner classes are $10 per class. The first lesson is free, and then you will be billed for classes in the remaining weeks of each term.
