Tyneside Irish Dance

Modern & Festival Irish Dancing for all ages and abilities

Classes

We offer a range of classes for both individuals and groups, for all ages and abilities. All classes will be taught in the Festival fashion, mixing in both traditional and modern dances and steps. We focus on having fun, being yourself, and keeping classes accessible, so that everyone can join in at their own pace. To see some examples of what we mean by modern dances, give this YouTube playlist a look.

Adult Classes

Check out our calendar below for upcoming classes and locations, or click on more details for the classes you're interested in. Those who attend our adult classes also attend socials with us to local Irish events, such as ceilis and performances. There's no age limit to these classes or socials, all are very welcome (we have dancers from their 20s to their 60s with us right now!). Occasionally we perform, however these performances are optional for all dancers.

Weekly Classes

Our in person (and online!) classes are on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings for beginners and experienced dancers of all ages.
