Are you looking to enroll your child in Irish Dance classes and don't know where to start? Here is a step-by-step guide to getting started at Ardan Academy!

2. Either submit your registration form online or bring in a printed version to your closest Studio.

3. John or Liz Heinzman will measure your dancer for soft shoes during the first week of classes in October. In the meantime, coming to class in running shoes that your child can dance in will work.

4. Look up our '2026- 2027 Class Schedule' located in the "Classes" drop-down and find which beginner classes work for your family.

5. Attend a class! What to wear & bring: Athletic clothing (shorts and a t-shirt/ tank top are recommended-, please, no loose pants), hair tie, water bottle, tennis shoes, soft shoes, and an open mind!
