Intro to Irish Dance
Come join us for a 6-week Fall Session intro to the Shannon Irish Dance Academy! This intro to Irish dance will teach children the basics of Irish dance and culture along with introducing the importance of teamwork, discipline, respect for others and resiliency. Shannon takes the time to develop each student, showing them how to set goals and how to reach those goals step by step, all the while nurturing their passion and instilling self-confidence through Irish dance. It is the unique balance between our solo, team, competitive and performance programs that sets our students up for success in all facets of life!
No previous dance experience necessary!
Céad Míle Fáilte!
The Shannon Irish Dance Academy is proud to perpetuate the traditions and culture of Ireland in Rochester Hills, Michigan. We are the only accredited school with certified Irish dance instructors through the World Irish Dance Association in northern Oakland County.
We believe that anyone can learn Irish dance regardless of age or level and as such, offer classes for students aged 3 years old to adults and everyone in between. We believe in teaching self-confidence, teamwork, discipline, respect for others, and grace under pressure; skills that will carry on in all facets of life. Our welcoming team of dancers, families, and teachers help to develop a strong sense of community and lasting friendships.
Shannon offers both competitive and performance programs in this traditional art form that has come to us from across the Atlantic. Dancers in our programs are given unique opportunities to compete and perform, not only nationally, but around the world. We provide each dancer with the means and support needed to compete and perform at the peak of their ability. It is our balanced approach to solo, performance, and team dancing that leads our dancers to their greatest successes on and off the dance floor.
