Being involved in Irish Dance at the Clarkson School of Irish Dance has been a very positive experience for our daughter in a number of different ways. Although she is very talkative at home, she often became shy and quiet around other people. Her participation in the Clarkson School of Irish Dance has bolstered her confidence and made her more outgoing around people. She often demonstrates her dance steps to any one willing to watch! Her dance classes have also taught her discipline with respect to listening to the teacher and following instructions. This discipline has translated well to her school, in that her teachers have commented on her poise and on how well she listens and obeys their instructions and does not bvecome distracted by the activities of other children. From a physical standpoint, our daughter's balance and coordination has improved greatly. She is now one of the best at jumping rope at school. We have been very impressed with the manner in which Mary Clarkson encourages and supports her students as they grow to learn and love Irish Dance. We have been very pleased with the progress that our daughter has made over the past two years and we look forward to a long relationship with the Clarkson School of Irish Dance.
