Irish Dance Classes in Chicago
Trinity Academy of Irish Dance has class locations in the Chicago and Milwaukee area. Trinity's program centers on the empowerment of each child, with lessons focused on self-confidence and teamwork. Instructors use a distinct, noncompetitive teaching method that places children on a "journey" through Ireland, teaching the beauty of the dance form as well as cultural and life lessons along the way.
New Students Ages 4-5 (River Program) begin their journey in River Shannon. This unique program focuses on the development of the whole child, concentrating on coordination, balance, rhythm and strength. These young dancers will learn steps of Irish Dance. Classes are held once a week for 45 minutes. Our session runs from September through the end of May. We offer a family discount for the 3rd child. (No previous dance experience required)
New Students Ages 6-12 (County Program) begin their journey in County Cork. While in County Cork they are introduced to dances such as the 'Jig' and 'Reel' while concentrating on proper posture, foot placement, timing and stage presence. Through a series of carefully designed stretching and dance exercises, the students gain confidence and poise very quickly. Classes meet once a week for one hour. The session typically runs from September through the end of June in the Chicago area, and through August in Wisconsin. We offer a family discount for the 3rd child.
