Hen weekend with Irish Dancing - I recently booked the Irish Dance Experience for a hen weekend. All 18 of us from ages 21 to 72 had an the most amazing time. The bride to be said it was the highlight of her hen weekend. Siobhan was brilliant and taught us 3 dances. I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Galway. It's a fun activity that all ages can enjoy.

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! 😀👌🏻☘️

Lots of fun! - My husband and I (not dancers!) really enjoyed learning a few Irish dances from a 15 year veteran of Riverdance. She was very friendly and was a good teacher. A wonderful way to take a bit of Ireland home!

A fun morning of Irish dance in the Claddagh Hall - The three of us ( incl a 16 year old) had such an enjoyable time with ex Riverdancer Siobhán at the Irish Dance Experience. She taught our group of 18 three dances - and made it easy and fun for us all… lots of laughter … You can proceed at your own pace … Just great fun.. Thank you Siobhán!
