Dancers of all ages 5 years and older are welcome. You may or may not dance competitively or at shows as you choose, but we encourage you to fully participate in all school activities. You decide which avenues to pursue - Feisianna, Shows, Culture, Fitness or all of these. We will teach on an equal basis to every dancer to the best of our ability. If you have the desire and determination we promise you will be an Irish Dancer! We have locations in Michigan, Ohio and Canada.
