The Culkin School will start classes for this dance year on September 14, and classes are filling up! We like to let our dancers get a few weeks of school under their belt before they take on Irish Dance, and so we will accept new registrants for a while – unless the classes fill up! We have shifted back most of our start times to accommodate the new MCPS dismissal times – click on the Register Now button to see our class times and locations. And Irish Dance is not just for kids! Our adult program at Glen Echo Park starts September 14th too! Join the tradition!
August & September Open Gym/Feis Prep Schedule
There will be several Open Gym sessions at Hughes UMC for Levels 5, 6 & 7 dancers as well as a few Feis Prep sessions for those dancers who are registered and competing in the Baltimore Feis on September 19. Please sign your dancer up in SignUpGenius and make sure to use the proper links. Open Gyms for Level 5, 6 & 7 dancers CLICK HERE!
