Celtic Steps School of Irish Dance specializes in Traditional Irish Solo and Ceili Dancing.
Students of all skill levels, ages, and experience are welcome. Registrations going on NOW!

Irish step dancing combines the entrancing rhythms of traditional Celtic music with the grace and energy of dance. Instruction centers on the fundamentals of traditional Irish dance — timing, body position and footwork. Students work to achieve these fundamentals as they learn the basic steps, then progress to learn beginner reel, light jig, and slip jig steps.

Building confidence, social, and team skills, students learn to dance in teams of two, three, four, six, and eight and sixteen. Students learn to dance in unison, developing spatial awareness as they dance the patterns of traditional ceili dances.

Hard shoe dancing, popularized by Lord of the Dance, is usually taught to second and third year students. The unique rhythms of hornpipe and double jig music drive the steps and timing of these dances. Students also learn one or more of the Traditional Set Dances…dances designated by the Irish Commission which are dances to the same music and employ the same steps the world over.

Celtic Steps Irish Dance Schools and the St. Brendan’s Irish Dance Foundation serves the following communities:

In February 1998, we started jigging in a small studio storefront on the edge of Mount Washington/Anderson Township.  Our studio was located in a quiet residential neighborhood where the Mount Washington streetcar line ended years ago.  After outgrowing that charming space in 2007, we’re now happy to call the Linwood community of Cincinnati our main home.  The river bottoms of the area are where Cincinnati’s earliest settlers took their first steps in this beautiful city and the East End of Cincinnati was an Irish “neighborhood” of sorts called “Rat Row”. 

Wherever we are located, our teaching philosophy and passion for Irish dance is the same.  It is the goal of Erickson Academy to teach Irish step dancing in a positive and fun way. Children are grouped by age in small classes for personal attention. We foster friendships in a respectful learning environment and nurture talent to achieve success on every level -- recreationally, socially and competitively!

All of our head instructors are certified by An Coimisiun le Rinci Galeacha and have years of experience working with dancers.  We are fortunate that we are able to do what we love and we hope ALL Erickson Academy dancers love Irish dancing too -- from our alumni to current dancers to the ones we haven't even met yet! 

Our adult program is for anyone who has ever wanted to learn Irish dancing or continue their Irish dancing passion from childhood. Whether the goal is social, exercise, recreational, or competitive, we welcome adult dancers! We are located in Cincinnati, Ohio and registered with CLRG.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul”.– Martha Graham

From beginner to championship level, solo dancing to ceili (team) dancing, the Lavin-Cassidy School of Irish Dancing has inspired appreciation for the art of Irish Dance for more than 30 years.

Because our focus is quality, not quantity, our class sizes allows for focused, individualized instruction by our staff of six instructors, of which five are certified by An Coimisiun, Ann Lavin Cassidy TCRG, ADCRG, Laura Stack Finn TCRG, ADCRG, Emma Jane Jordan TCRG, Dolores Taaffe TCRG, ADCRG, Caoimhe Cassidy TCRG, Stephanie Ryan and Megan Cody.

Irish Dance classes offered in Worth & Countryside, Illinois and Elm Grove, Wisconsin

Discipline, responsibility, competition, hard work, and passion – all part of what Maguire Academy of Irish Dance is all about. The respect we give students is something that they will take with them as they move forward in life. In turn, our dancers conduct themselves with the utmost respect for others. We expect nothing less. And when dancers are ready to compete, they are taught self-respect and are always congratulatory towards their fellow classmates.
