Irish Dance pants for boys!
A little stretch in the pants makes it easier to dance! (ha! I made rhyme) You don't have to rush out and get these, they are just an option available for our male dancers. The stretchy pants are 85% polyester and 15% cotton. They have a zippered fly and belt loops. Made for figure skating, some sizes run long and require hemming.

Bring a Friend Week - March 21 - 26 At All Studio Locations
 

Bring a Friend Week  - Things to Know
 
  • Postcards will be at the studio beginning of March for dancers and parents to take and pass out to anyone they think is interested.
  • Bring a Friend Classes will be modified to meet the needs of those attending
  • If you have a friend interested in a class, you can bring them to a class time you regulary attend or the class time that might match their level, (likely a beginner class) even if it is above or below your class level you would attend.  
  • Friends that register/enroll for classes on or before March 31 will get 50% off their first month
  • Dancers that bring friends to classes that end up enrolling into classes will go into a raffle to receive 1 month free
  • Dancers that sign up friends that attend classes will go into a raffle for other cool prizes.

Schedule

  • Bring a Friend Week will be a little different.  Basically all classes are open to all dancers, you can attend as many classes as you want this week at any studio as long as they match the levels you are dancing in.
  • Feis Workshop classes are worked into the schedule. 
    If you are doing the April Fools or Shelagh Feile you must attend the Feis Workshop dates IN ADDITION to your "regularly" scheduled classes this week.  
  • Feis Workshop Dates
    Thursday March 24  @ 7:15 - 8:00
    Friday March 25  @ 6:00 - 8:00
    Saturday March 26 - All dancers that are competing should attend the Saturday class schedule starting at 11:30 (obv. if you aren't in Bun Grad, you don't have to come at 11:30)
