An introductory session to Irish dancing for 2-3 year olds. Sessions are 8 weeks long and explore creative movement and Irish dancing foundations. Students will likely take several sessions before mastering the curriculum, at which point they will advance into the Little Leprechauns session. Each session finishes with a mini-performance for the parents in class. No costume or shoe purchases are necessary; dancers can practice in socks, tshirt, and shorts. Class sizes are limited to 6 dancers per teacher so we can create a friendly and helpful environment for our Tiny Toes! The session tuition is $100, divided into two payments of $35 at registration and $65 due by the first day of class.

Tir Na Nog is Gaelic for "land of the youth." This class runs in a 5 month session, and by the end of the session students will have learned their first full Irish dance routines (the Reel and the Jig). In this level they will also learn Irish Dance foot positioning, posture, counting music, stretching, hop skips, the sidestep, all while keeping a focus on extending attention spans and having fun. Students at this level are invited to perform outside the classroom for the first time by participating in St. Patrick's Day community danceouts, and our annual spring showcase. Performing outside the classroom is encouraged, but optional. Dancers can practice in socks, tshirt, and shorts, but when they decide they're ready to participate in their first performance they'll need to purchase Irish shoes ($45) and size for a costume rental ($50). Class sizes are limited to 6 dancers per teacher so we can create a friendly and helpful environment for our Tiny Toes.
