Registration for Adult Open Gym Now Available

Adult Open Gym returns to Hughes this summer! Sessions will be held for all levels of adult dancers on Wednesday evenings from 8:00 to 10:00pm beginning June 25 and ending August 27. The idea of these sessions is to work on and refine material dancers already have.  

The cost is $10 per session and a minimum of 10 dancers is needed for each session.  If we don’t have enough dancers registered in advance for a particular night, we will have to cancel that date.

Please download a registration form and return it to reserve your space.

Congratulations to all of our dancers who did so well today at the Comhaltas Irish Dance Festival - the CCE Feis.  It was great to see so many out there wearing the Sligo black and white!

Congrats, especially, to three of our newest championship dancers:  Kia R and Mary Margaret S both qualified for Prelminary Championships.  And earning her second 1st place in prelims, Allie P qualifies for Open Championships!  Way to go girls!
