Welcome to your first class!
Beginner Irish Dancing (for children) is our introductory class for first-timers, with no previous experience needed. It is a highly interactive class where you will learn your very first Irish dancing steps and meet other beginners just like you! It’s always fun starting something new so we know you are excited and so are we. At The Lynagh Studio, we offer a friendly, structured class environment for all pupils to learn in.Our classes provide the opportunity for beginners to learn at their own pace, accommodating for individual learning styles. All beginner classes are purposely kept small for the benefit of each child, ensuring they receive one-on-one tuition as part of their weekly classes.
Our beginner classes are run for a duration that is suitable for young children, which introduces the little ones to the basics of Irish Dancing. You are never too old to experience the fun that Irish Dancing has to offer, and we have many dancers that have started in primary or high school. This is a wonderful time for dancers to begin as their coordination, strength and physical ability allows them to pick up the steps quickly. Dancers that are older than 8 years old typically begin in an advanced beginner class after they spend a week or 2 with beginners (to pick up the basics and avoid feeling overwhelmed).
