About
Vanshaw Academy of Irish Dance is Calgary's only open platform Irish dance school, offering classes for dancers from ages 3 to 93. Whether you're looking for recreational classes or competitive child and adult aerobic classes, Vanshaw has something for everyone. Located in both SW and SE Calgary, the academy provides a convenient option for dancers from all areas of the city.
For those interested in trying Irish dance without committing to a full program, Vanshaw offers an 8-week sampler session as well as summer sessions. This is a great opportunity for young children aged 4-7 to experience Irish music and dance in a fun and supportive environment. The academy's classes focus on proper technique, traditional movements, and Ceili dancing, catering to dancers of all levels.
In addition to kids classes, Vanshaw also offers Adult ReelRobics classes every Monday for those looking to add a reeling good time to their fitness routine. Founded in 2022 by Stephanie Henshaw, the academy is dedicated to sharing the joy and artistry of Irish dance with the community.
