Joining our Irish dance classes in Lexington

Our classes will focus on the basic techniques of Irish dancing, emphasizing group — known as “ceili” — dancing. Whether it’s dances for 2, 3, 4, 8 or 16 people, you’ll learn some great original and traditional group choreographies.

No previous dance experience is necessary. Students with previous dance or Irish dance experience are welcome.
