The Walker & Kick Irish dancing teachers strive to create a class environment which is highly productive and constructive, and together with their lively enthusiasm for the dance form, classes are an enjoyable and social experience, with a strong emphasis on a warm and nurturing environment.

Our teachers ensure that the technical aspects of the dance form are explicitly taught through imaginative choreography, which includes a combination of traditional and contemporary steps. The school focuses on both solo and team dancing. Solo dancers are given the opportunity to develop their skills at different levels, in both hard shoe and soft shoe. During solo classes students learn the technique of Irish dancing, in particular regard to footwork, deportment, rhythm, and the development of dance strength and stamina. Students are encouraged to maximise their dancing potential, and therefore develop a strong sense of confidence, determination, focus and commitment; whilst experiencing the joy of Irish Dance. Students have the opportunity to compete in local competitions and State, National and International Championships.

Teams are an integral part of Irish dancing, and all experienced dancers are given the opportunity to learn this aspect of the dance form. Students will learn traditional ‘ceili’ dances, as well as contemporary choreographies, and performance skills.
