Sydney Irish Set Dancing Centre

Welcome to the 2010 dance season at the Sydney Irish Set Dancing Centre.  We hope you're summer was an enjoyable and relaxing one. Trish and I have been busy getting ready for the new year of dance, and this year we will be starting a whole new approach to the dance classes.  We are really excited about these changes and hope you will be too!

Classes will be organised into four terms where students will learn Irish dance skills and techniques while developing self-confidence, with a strong emphasis on learning sets and steps.  We want all our students to leave class feeling comfortable, challenged, and excited about their dancing.

We will be back in session Wednesday 3 February 2010.  We've had lots of interest from our returning dancers, as well as some new faces keen to join in, and we really look forward to seeing you there!
