Why should I choose Irish stepdancing rather than another kind of dance?
Many people choose Irish dancing to connect with their Irish heritage. Many people also choose Irish dance after seeing Riverdance or Lord of the Dance. Even if you’re not Irish, it’s a great form of dance: it’s energetic, exciting, and good exercise. Also, unlike some other forms of dance, Irish dance has a long tradition of modesty which means that the costumes cover wrists and collarbones, and skirts come down almost to the knee. You won’t see your six year old bumping and grinding in Irish dance! Also unlike other forms of dance, in Irish dance you start off wearing a team costume, like a uniform, rather than wearing a different costume for each recital number. With Heritage, you would have the opportunity to perform as many as fifty times a year. That means that you would spend $50-$100 once to perform up to fifty times, rather than spending $50-$100 per number to perform once a year. We also have a used costume program which means you can trade in old costumes if you outgrow them
