Summer Sessions for Grade-Level Dancers
Welcome to summer! We want to make it simple and affordable for your dancer to take advantage of the gloriously long days of summer to get stronger and more skilled in Irish Dance. To that end, we are providing several options for our continuing dancers, Beginners through Champs:
​
Intermediate 1 Irish Dance Hard Shoe Camp
All Irish dancers look forward to putting on their first pair of hard shoes. At Rince na Grá, the transition from soft shoe to hard shoe happens in Intermediate 1. This is a big step for our dancers, and we want to help them get off to a great start. This Camp is designed to do just that.
​
This five-day intensive "camp" will help dancers get a head start on their hard shoe skills.

Kick start the fall season with this rigorous Irish dance technique intensive, to improve your technique and give you so many tools needed to strengthen your Irish dance muscles at home.
This five-day intensive will help teach dancers to learn correct form for exercises to help improve their technique.
