We had a great time! We learned three types of dance in 1.5 hours. Ann-Marie was lovely and talented! Our class was on the hottest day of the year, but we survived the heat and the class itself was fantastic.

We were a group of 24 colleagues from Norway visiting Galway, and this turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip. None of us had ever tried Irish dancing before, but we gave it our all, laughed until our cheeks hurt, and somehow managed to learn several traditional Irish dances along the way! Siobhán is an incredibly talented instructor with a fantastic sense of humour and an amazing ability to get everyone involved.
The session was energetic, welcoming, and perfectly adapted to our group. It wasn't just a dance class – it was a fun team-building experience. It was the perfect way to kick off our evening and definitely put us in the perfect mood to conquer the dance floors of Galway for the rest of the night!
So if you're visiting Galway with friends, family or colleagues, don't miss this experience. Thank you, Siobhán, for bringing out the Irish dancers hidden inside 24 Norwegians!

The Irish dance class was extraordinary and lots of fun. We laughed, met new people and enjoyed learning about the culture and history of Irish dancing. Our instructor Tina was awesome.

I had a great time at the Irish dance experience. I learned new dances, met new people, and enjoyed the session. The instructor was very knowledgeable, supportive, and created a welcoming environment for dancers of all levels. The atmosphere was friendly and encouraging, making it easy to learn and have fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in trying Irish dance.

This was such an amazing experience! Siobhan and Kincaid tailored each dance to accommodate everyone’s levels of ability and experience! I am not a dancer by any means lol but I had the most wonderful time. It was also very interesting to learn some of the history of Irish dancing!
Had an amazing time at this Irish dance class! We learnt the basics of four different dance styles, all taught by two fantastic instructors who made everything easy to follow and really fun. The music was brilliant, the atmosphere was full of laughs, and everyone felt welcome regardless of experience. A great way to try something new and have a really enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

11 days ago, we came to visit Galway with my group of 49 French pupils from Beaucaire.
We had the opportunity to discover Irish dances with Siobhán.
I really enjoyed the way she was leading the group with energy and smile.
She is very professionnal and knows how to teach her passion to teenagers, and share her culture.
She managed to make herself understood even by non-English speakers, who were the vast majority of our group.
The result we achieved within only 90' was impressive !

Great job Siobhán !

It's special to learn anything from an expert. Siobhán is that! Not only is she a professional Irish dancer, that also knows how to break down the steps for a novice to give it a fun try, but she is also warm and personable and able to include each person in their own way. Our family from 8 to 78 had a blast!

Thanks Kathrin and great recommendation- Trad on The Prom is amazing x
Absolutely the BEST Experience Ever! We attended a class for my sister's Bachelorette party in Galway, and it was so worth it! We all laughed and cried from laughing and dancing together at the same time. The instructor was so kind a genuine and really wanted to know about each of us aside from learning the dance. Felt right at home. Would 10/10 recommend this to anyone going to Galway.

Thank you Jo, I hope you had a ball at the wedding! x
I took a group of 20 college students to one of Siobhan's classes and they had the BEST time. They picked up the moves very quickly, but Siobhan is also an incredible instructor. I saw childlike joy on all of their faces and we couldn't be more grateful for the fun we had.

The plan is to do this again with next year's group. It was awesome!!! Oh, and also very easy to find and get to.

We had a fantastic time with Siobhan for my cousins Hen do. Great communication and organisation, happy to accommodate our request to learn some ceilidh dancing, and we had so much fun on the day. The bride and all the guests said how brilliant it was, and now we'll know what to do at the wedding! Highly recommend for some fun in Galway.
