Fall Intro to Irish Dance

Discover the rhythm, joy & confidence of Irish dance this autumn!

This fall, give your child a fresh, fun activity with our 8-week Intro to Irish Dance class (for ages 6-17). No previous experience or special shoes required—just bring their curiosity and energy!

At McGovern Irish Dance, we believe dance is more than steps: it’s about community, confidence, and connection. Our welcoming, upbeat environment helps young dancers

  • build balance, coordination, and stamina in a lively way,

  • make friends, feel supported and celebrated,

  • experience a taste of Irish culture and music through movement.

What to expect

Over eight weeks, your dancer will:

  • learn foundational Irish dance rhythms and steps (the fun “1-2-3s”, the “7’s”, basic drills)

  • improve posture, coordination, body awareness — skills that carry well beyond dance

  • work together and solo, boosting teamwork, focus and personal confidence

  • enjoy themed activities—think music, craft, movement—to make class lively and memorable

  • cap the session with a short demo performance for family & friends, and receive a certificate of completion

Why join this fall?

  1. Active, engaging fun — Irish dance gives an exciting cardio-boost plus rhythm, strength and flexibility in each class.

  2. Grow socially and personally — Whether your child has danced before or is just trying something new, they’ll belong to a vibrant supportive community where every dancer matters.

  3. Rooted in tradition, tailored for today — We draw on the rich tradition of Irish dance, while welcoming first-timers and making every step accessible and enjoyable.
