Culkin School News Blog

At the Culkin School, we believe in teaching the basics properly and well in the early years of instruction – that is why we spend so much time in the first classes a dancer takes listening to the music, practicing turnout, etc.  Good figures dancers do those basics well, so through our re-registration process we invite dancers who have had at least one full year, and sometimes two, of Irish dance experience to participate in the Figures program.

The Figures program at the Culkin School is intended to supplement the solo program.  In other words, the figures class would be the second class of the week for the dancer.  However, if a dancer has been with the Culkin School for at least two years, they can opt to take only the figures class.
