Brilliant! Book it! - We were a mixture of Irish and English family and friends, men and women. Mostly middle aged though some youngsters as well. Everyone had a great time. Siobhan is a great teacher and really encouraging of all abilities! Everyone loved our Riverdance performance at the end. Very flexible on time slots, we had agreed on 9pm on the Friday, then changed to 5pm on the Saturday. Highly recommend this.

What happiness! - A great experience. Our teacher was dynamic, enthusiastic, pedagogical and so gifted ... We started learning a few steps and, miracle, we all got there. Then we worked on the sequences and finally danced to Irish music. We learned 3 dances. A nice friendly moment, funny and without judgment.

Trad on the Prom night - The show was great quality, music, visuals, some fog effects, lighting. Dancers were excellent. Crowd was mostly 60+. No food served but alcohol and bevs avail for purchase. We purchased last minute and only the VIP was available which came with a dvd and full color keepsake program of all the performers. Pictures and video are allowed without flash. A lot of guests couldn’t figure out their flashes.

Highly Recommended when in Galway! - I am so grateful that I found the Irish Dance Experience while visiting Galway. We participated in 2023 and now I am bringing a group back this year in 2024 for a class. Siobhán is not only an amazing, talented dancer, she is kind and patient teacher and makes this very unique experience so much fun. Recommended for all ages and you leave feeling in great spirits. She runs an excellent program!

Very cool experience - Our teacher Siobhan, is really nice and cool. In 1:30 we’ve learned 3 types of Irish dances, not too difficult and easy to do again at home. She also shared us 2 videos she made during the course, that we will be able to see at home, so we are able to rehearse! 😀👌🏻☘️
