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 shoes skills.

Offered just once this summer: June 16-20 (scroll down for more info)

Posture and Turnout "Intensive Camp"

Almost all Irish dancer struggle with their Posture and Turnout. This Intensive Camp is just for that! Not only will it teach dancers how to improve their posture and turnout at home, but it will help them to start building the muscles and techniques they need to have the best posture and turnout!

This five-day intensive "camp" will help teach dancer learn correct form for exercises to help improve their posture and turnout.
