New Beginner
Irish Dance Session
Beginning January 2026
Our New Beginner Irish Dance Session is a low-commitment way for kids 6 & up AND ADULTS to learn their first Irish Reel, Light Jig, & Single Jig. We start with the fundamentals of Irish Dance and build up on those skills from there.
Choose your level of commitment!
1 Month...Just dipping my toe in the water!
2 Months...Let's give this a fair shake!
3 Months (the FULL session)...Count me in!
I'm excited to learn and maybe even perform for St. Patrick's Day!
...but why IRISH DANCE?
"(Irish Dance) Education is not the
filling of a pail,
but the
lighting of a fire."
-William Butler Yeats, Irish Poet
At the Brightburn Academy, we believe in the whole person and the essential value that movement can add to a person's overall well-being and health, no matter the age or stage. We have experienced time & time again the JOY that learning Irish Dance has the potential to bring to a dancer's life--lighting a fire of passion, tradition, & community.
Are you looking for more JOY in your life, or the life of someone you care about?
for more JOY in your life!
Reviews from our Dance Parents
"It was really important to me to find a place where my girls could dance and feel a sense of family and supportiveness and none of the harsh competitive spirit (not to mention body shaming) present elsewhere in the dance world. Irish Dance at Brightburn Academy has been a pleasant surprise and we have really appreciated the inclusiveness, friendly environment, and kind and patient instructors. Highly recommend!"
-Jill K., Dance Parent
"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Brightburn Academy of Irish Dance! Kate Padilla is an incredible teacher & person--so patient, kind, fun with the kids, & talented--and being a part of Brightburn has been such a blessing to our family. My girls look forward to their dance classes every week. The performances are fun and the community is great. Highly recommend!"
-Jessie E., Dance Parent
"As a parent, I am immensely grateful for the positive impact Brightburn Academy has had on my daughter's life beyond the dance floor. The studio's commitment to instilling discipline, perseverance, and a strong work ethic has had a profound influence on her character development. She has learned the value of dedication, resilience, and the rewards that come from consistent effort and determination. My only regret is that we did not find Brightburn Academy sooner."
