New Beginner Sessions
Offered semi-annually
New Beginner Sessions are offered periodically during the year as 8-week instructional modules.
New Beginners learn the very basics of Irish dancing technique in 50-minute classes. After completing the module, these dancers will understand foundational traditional movements and steps, and will be capable of performing simple sections of a traditional group dance, or ceili, and basic solo softshoe steps with classmates.
Classes are segmented by age as needed to accommodate age levels appropriately, with children 5+ placed in a separate class from teens and adults 18+.
Continuing learner kids
coming soon!
Continuing Learner 1 & 2 classes are 55 minutes in length and focused on refining existing basic technique and mastering more complex material.
Dancers with a certificate of completion from a KIDC New Beginner Session OR at least 3 months of previous Irish dancing experience elsewhere and a 1:1 skills evaluation with a KIDC instructor may join an existing Continuing Learner 1 class at any time during the year.
Classes are segmented by age and experience level as needed. Continuing Learner 1 classes are reserved for dancers with no hardshoe experience or who are just beginning to learn hardshoe dances. Those dancers with some hardshoe mastery are placed in Continuing Learner 2 classes with peers of similar skill level.
Advanced teen
& Adult
Offered Year-Round
Advanced Adult classes are structured for those ages 18+ who have some prior experience in Irish dancing and who want to continue learning in a relaxed environment with their peers. Focused on joy, fitness, and stress-relief, these 60-minute classes cover traditional group dances or ceilis, as well as traditional set dances and more challenging material for those with years of Irish dancing experience.
Advanced Adult classes are drop-in only and capacity is limited. Email info@kyneirishdance.com to join the waitlist.
These classes are open (though not limited) to dancers who wish to compete in CLRG Adult or Advanced Adult categories locally and nationally. For more information about competing as an adult with KIDC, please submit an inquiry via our Contact page.
high-performance Championship team
Offered Year-Round
Championship-level classes are geared towards active competitive dancers of all ages who want to train in a high-level environment. With a strong focus on technique and performance, these 120-minute classes provide a supportive environment for dancers with competitive goals on a national and international level.
As a pre-requisite for these classes, dancers must be at the preliminary championship level or above in CLRG-sanctioned competitions.
Private & Semi-Private Lessons
Offered Year-Round
Private and semi-private lessons are available as an add-on to monthly tuition for Advanced and Championship-level dancers taking at least 1 regular class weekly. These 60- and 90-minute lessons are offered with a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of dancer(s) to instructor and are focused on technique refinement and competitive readiness.
Scheduling of private lessons is first-come, first-served and dependent on instructor availability.
