Here at the Academy we train pupils in both traditional and contempary Irish Dancing.

The school prides itself on the fact that all our pupils are drawn from all across the community.

The aim of the Academy is to ensure each pupil reaches their full potential in a creative and enjoyable environment.

The academy believes in building self esteem and confidence of children through positive encouragement.

Irish dancing is a fun way of keeping fit and provides additional benefits such as flexibility, coordination, balance and strength.

Each child will progress at their own rate and will have the option of competing at competitions. While we believe in the life lessons that healthy competition can teach, we realize it is not for everybody, so this will be left up to the parent/guardian of each child.
For our competitive dancers who enjoy dancing in competitions whether it be a Local Feis or the World Championships, there is a suitable class for their level, as well as dancers who simply choose to enjoy Irish dancing as a recreational activity.

Every dancer is part of Team RTDA
