WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS?

IRISH DANCE SHOES

Irish Dance shoes are not cheap to buy. If you are a beginner and starting classes the first time I would recommend to enjoy the experience first. Fun and dancing are the most important things in my classes. Having Irish Dance shoes is complimentary. See above “What to bring to class”, which shoes you can use in the meantime. You could check with your teacher for second-hand pairs of soft shoes and/or hard shoes! NEW High Quality Irish dancing shoes & accessories are now available from you teacher for a very good price. Ask your teacher for more information.
