I have been involved with Inis Cairde for 9 1/2 years now and couldn't imagine being anywhere else!
The staff is very knowledgeable, and concerned for the well-being of the students in their classes. The owner does a FANTASTIC job running the program and making sure that all of her classes are run in a professional manner, while still bringing fun into the class as well.
The students are given lots of opportunities to perform all over the triangle, and if they wish to, are able to perform in competitions across the U.S. However competition is NOT required and therefore makes this sport very reasonably priced!! The tuition policy is laid out in the registration brochure and is informative about what to expect financially from the school. If a parent was to ever have a question about the school, or it's tuition policies , the owner and her staff would be more then willing to explain it and make sure that everyone was on the same page.
The thing I love most about Inis Cairde however, is the positive environment that is provides children, they are not pushed to extremes, but are encouraged to do this if they love it. The school promotes an attitude of respect from its dancers and everyone looks out for everyone else. It is more or less, a very happy family!
