Established in Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow in 2018, our aim is to give children and adults of all ages and abilities the opportunity to learn and enjoy a wide range of dance styles including ballet, modern theatre, tap and hip hop/streetdance. We have experienced and inspiring dance teachers whose goal is to share their love and passion for dance with others.
