Ballet 

Inspiring Performances Every Time

Our ballet classes will take the student on a journey through movement, encouraging interaction, co-ordination and balance whilst embracing the technique and discipline of classical ballet.  We offer ballet exams in IBDP (Irish Board of Dance Performance) at Tubbercurry, Straide, Charlestown  and Castlebar.  Students will have the opportunity to partake in both exams and school stage performances.

Modern Theatre

Passionate, Energetic and Fun

We teach Modern Theatre Dance in Charlestown.  The Modern Theatre Dance is a rhythmic dance style, it is often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities. The style uses travelling steps, high kicks, leaps and turns which all need strength and flexibility. This is a highly energetic dance style.  Students are given the opportunity to partake in the IBDP (Irish Board of Dance Performance) exams and school performances.
