All About Claddagh School of Irish Dance

Claddagh School of Irish Dance provides specialised Irish dancing classes for all ages and skill levels in the Mackay region and beyond. Our mission is to teach both traditional and modern Irish dance styles alongside Irish culture and language, providing a comprehensive education for our dancers.

​​

Since our establishment in 2008, our primary focus has been to foster dancers' self-confidence, empowering them to achieve their full potential within a positive and enriching learning environment. At the core of our school's philosophy lie the values of the Claddagh – Love, Friendship, and Loyalty – fostering a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) spirit within our studio.

We are dedicated to offering top-quality training to support each student’s success.

​

Our dedication includes:

 

• Community: Establishing a supportive and caring dance community.

• Culture: Immersing students in traditional music, language, and history alongside their dance training.

• Confidence: Building a strong sense of self-belief in every dancer.

• Creativity: Encouraging ongoing personal and artistic growth.

 

 

Through these foundations, we aim to inspire a lifelong appreciation for Irish dance, culture, and the values it represents. Our programs not only teach dance but also help develop the whole person, fostering skills such as discipline, resilience, and teamwork that extend far beyond the studio. Whether dancing for fun, performance, or competition, every student is valued and celebrated as part of our Claddagh family.

​

I look forward to welcoming your family to our studio.

Yours in dance,
