A ceilidh is a Scottish or Irish gathering, often marked by the joyful expression of singing, dancing, and storytelling. Celtic Ceilidh Dance Academy embraces this heritage, with a wide variety of dance programs for all ages and levels. Whether your young dancer is just getting started or already knows what they love, there is something for everyone here. Dance adds a spark of joy to every day; it’s the perfect activity to promote health, wellness, and happiness!
This fall you can join Celtic Ceilidh Dance Academy in celebrating 25 years of dance in their all-new studio! What began as a Highland dance school has since developed into a well-rounded dance studio offering classes in Highland, Irish, Ballet, Tap, Jazz & Lyrical, K-Pop, Stretch & Strength, and Pilates & Barre. With a warm, welcoming environment, the academy is committed to providing the dance experience each dancer hopes for. From dancing recreationally, to taking exams and becoming dance instructors themselves, there is something for everyone!
Students in every discipline will benefit from a strong focus on developing the proper form and technique, which can lead to some amazing opportunities through the Celtic Ceilidh Dance Academy. This year the dancers are excited to be headed back to Ireland and Scotland for advanced training including exams, competitions, and workshops with the industry’s finest!
Little dancers from ages 3-6 can start to develop a love for dance in the Celtic Ceilidh Preschool and Primary Programs. With a focus on body awareness, timing, musicality, and basic movements, children can find classes in Highland, Ballet, and Irish. If you have older dancers, there are terrific options in Highland, Ballet, and Irish dance, of course, and you’ll also find dance classes in Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, and even K-Pop! To augment dance classes, kids can also register for Stretch classes. Even adults can get in on the fun, adding a Pilates or Barre class while you wait for your dancer or even taking dance lessons yourself!
If your child is interested in dance, but isn’t sure what kind of dance, the experienced instructors at the Celtic Ceilidh Dance Academy can help guide their decision. Ballet is always a good choice to start, as a foundation for all dance, building strength, body awareness, and flexibility. And as they are exposed to dance in general, they may be naturally drawn to a particular style as they continue.
Registration is now open for fall 2023 at the Celtic Ceilidh Dance Academy. Your dancer will have fun, enjoy a good challenge, and make new friends who share the love of dance and tradition, all while discovering their own potential. Dance with joy!
