SUMMER WORKSHOPS
Reel Irish Dance Camp Dayton OH - Beginner and Advanced Camp
Regular classes will coincide with these camps, so if you class during a camp time, you still have class.
Beginners
Irish dance camps are a fun way to learn a lot about Irish dance in a short amount of time. Dancers will work on the foundation of basic Irish dance skills including proper footwork, rhythm, and team work in a fun loving nurturing environment.
Who Should Sign Up?
Beginner camp is appropriate for dancers still working through their Bun Grad Reel
Advanced Camp
This is for dancers that have some Irish Dance experience or at least 1 season of classes with McGovern Irish Dance. Dancers will continue to work on their Bun Grad and Open Organization steps as well as Hard shoe work so they are ready to start strong in September!
