MAGUIRE ADULT IRISH DANCErs
Irish dance - it's not just for kids!
There is no age limit for Irish dance, especially at Maguire. We have one of the most active and competitive adult groups in Arizona, and we're proud of our dancers of all ages!
In our adult classes, you dance to your level and your ability. We encourage our adult dancers to try solo and ceili (group) dancing. Some of our dancers do both and compete in both! We've sent our adult dancers to local, regional and national competitions around the country in both solo and ceili dancing.
This class is designed for adults, ages 18+, to learn the fundamentals of Irish Dance, or for former Irish Dancers to return to the sport, in a no-pressure, no judgement environment. Students will learn basic movements, soft and hard shoe choreographies, and fundamentals of Irish music.
No prerequisites or prior experience necessary.
If you're dancing to stay active and nothing else, we'd love to have you! Irish dance provides great mobility and cardio exercise. Come and dance to perform, compete or just for fun! Whatever you choose, it's never too late to start.
Testimonials
"I joined Maguire ten years ago. Best decision ever. Out teachers and fellow students are the best."
-Bernadette, age 75
"I was nervous to start Irish dance as an adult, but everyone was so welcoming that I quickly felt like I belonged. High-quality instruction with the opportunity to compete, but no pressure, either. We have a lot of fun, too!"
-Kathryn, age 45
