The love and appreciation for Irish culture. At the Adelaide Academy of Irish Dancing, students not only learn the technical skills of Irish dance, but also develop confidence, presentation and poise, good sportsmanship, leadership skills, and the ability to work as part of a team. We believe in providing a well-rounded dance education that goes beyond just the physical aspects of dancing.
The Adelaide Academy offers dance classes for children from 3 years old in various disciplines such as Irish dance, jazz, ballet, tap, and contemporary. Our classes are conducted in a friendly and safe environment, where students are encouraged to express themselves and have fun while learning. We have a dedicated team of teachers who are experienced in their respective fields and are committed to the development and success of each individual student.
Throughout the year, our students have the opportunity to showcase their skills and progress through various performances. They perform routines for parents and guests at the Mid-Year Recital and at the End of Year Annual Christmas Concert, where they combine forces with the Irish Dancers to put on a spectacular and exciting concert. These performances not only allow our students to showcase their talent but also help build their confidence and stage presence.
The Adelaide Academy of Irish Dancing and Performing Arts takes pride in creating a caring and family-oriented environment for students and their families. Our aim is not only to teach dance skills but also to instil life-long values and qualities in our students. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community where everyone feels valued and respected.
As one of the longest continuously running Irish Dance Schools in Australia, the Adelaide Academy has a rich history and is deeply connected to its Irish heritage. The school was founded in 1966 by Margaret Atkinson, and since then, it has been a beacon of Irish dance in Adelaide. We are dedicated to promoting and preserving Irish culture through our dance classes, performances, and community involvement.
