Welcome to Ashden School of Irish Dance, a new vendor at our Community Arts Sign-Up Day! 🎨 this month!
ABOUT ASHDEN SCHOOL OF IRISH DANCE:
Irish Dance is a vibrant and athletic style of dance rooted in Irish tradition and culture. Known for its quick footwork, strong posture, and energetic rhythms, Irish Dance combines technique, artistry, musicality, and performance in a fun and supportive environment. You do not need to be of Irish heritage to participate — we proudly welcome dancers of all backgrounds to join our school, experience Irish culture, and enjoy the sport of Irish Dance. Whether dancers are interested in recreation, performance, or competition, Irish Dance helps build confidence, coordination, discipline, teamwork, and lifelong friendships.
Our classes are individualized to support each dancer’s unique goals, learning style, and experience level. We offer classes for all ages and abilities — from beginners age 5 through adults and Open Championship dancers. Classes include warm-ups, solo and group dances, as well as strength and flexibility training designed to help prevent injuries and improve overall dance performance.
With our small class sizes, we are able to work closely with each student, build strong relationships, and provide personalized encouragement every step of the way. We believe in helping dancers set achievable goals while providing the support and guidance needed to turn dreams into reality.
For class, dancers should wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion and bring a water bottle. Beginners are welcome to wear black ballet slippers, or we would be happy to help you find the right Irish Dance soft shoes. That’s it — you’re ready for your first class!
Come learn more about Ashden's School of Irish Dance on June 17th from 5-8pm at the Margo Fournier Arts Centre!
