I didn't want the dance lesson to end. I was very happy! Not only my legs wanted to continue dancing Irish dances, but also my soul!

Great dance instruction! - Siobhan was an amazing instructor for the Riverdance class. She was very nice and really knew how to get us dancing in no time. This was money well spent!

Just do it! - It was great fun! We learnt 3 different styles and a little bit about the history of Irish Dance. There were people of all ages and from all over the world. The teacher was very patient and was able to explain every step clearly and easy. It was something I absolutely wanted to do in my holidays and I highely recommend it.

To Dance is to Live - I have loved Irish music all my life and to have the opportunity to have a lesson in Irish dance was phenomenal. Dance brings us together. Our teacher was a breath of fresh air, passionate about dance and excellent in teaching. Go for it! Highly recommend.

Memorable experience in Galway! - This was a great experience and Siobhan was such a wonderful teacher! We were curious how much we’d get from one class, but Siobhan really knows how to breakdown the lesson and make it a fun time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun unique experience!

Fun - So much fun and the class flew by. As a family with younger kids they were able to participate and they had a blast. We felt connected to the instructor, learned great basic technique and had fun. The highlight of our time in Galway.

Totally worth it! - I took a group of 20 college students to one of Siobhan's classes and they had the BEST time. They picked up the moves very quickly, but Siobhan is also an incredible instructor. I saw childlike joy on all of their faces and we couldn't be more grateful for the fun we had. The plan is to do this again with next year's group. It was awesome!!! Oh, and also very easy to find and get to.

Must do!! - No experience necessary. This was a true highlight- learning from a former Riverdance lead dancer. She was so much fun! We had three generations participating and it was an absolute blast.
