WHICH CLASSES SHOULD MY CHILD TAKE?

The categories listed below are the levels of Irish dance and will help you determine which classes to enroll in.

New Beginners are dancers who are Irish dancing for the first time.

Beginners have been dancing 6  to 12 months. 

Advanced Beginners are beginners from last year and have been dancing for 1 full year.

Novice is anyone who competed in a Feis, in Advanced Beginner and placed 1st., 2nd., or 3rd. in competition.

Prizewinner is anyone who competed in a Feis, in Novice and placed 1st only in competition.

Preliminary Champion

a)    The dancer must have won a 1st place in a LIGHT Dance and a 1st  place in a HEAVY dance in the Prizewinner grade, and

b)      Have never won 1st, 2nd or 3rd in Open Championship. 

Open Champion is anyone who places 1st two times in preliminary championships moves to open championships as soon as the second win is achieved.

Ceili & Figure Dancing - Performed in groups for competition. 30 ceili dances taken from the book Ár Rinncidhe Foirne, and is officially recognized by An Coimisiun le Rince Gaelacha, Ireland. 

Combination Classes are for students that compete at different levels. For example: a dancer may have placed 1st in reels to move up to the next level but did not place in jigs. So the dancer could be in Advanced beginner jigs but Novice reels.

Please match your classes as close as you can to match their proper level in competition. Second year students automatically become advanced beginners.

If your child will be competing, at least 2 classes per week is recommended.
