Welcome
to the digital home of the Bhriomhar School of Irish Dance. As
our Gaelic name implies, we strive to develop Irish Dancers with
a love of this dynamic dance form. Our school offers classes for
children aged 5 and up just south of Calgary at the Starcast Dance
Studio in Okotoks, Alberta.
The
Bhriomhar School provides professional, comprehensive and affordable
instruction with an emphasis upon fun, fitness, healthy competiton
and show sets similar to those seen in Riverdance and Lord
of the Dance. Our dancers perform at a variety of venues culminating
in our annual Ceili, and compete at local and regional feiseanna.
Our
classes are taught by Ali Hampshire, TCRG, and her sister Cait
Hampshire. Both are previous two time Western Canadian Irish Dance
Champions and regularly qualified to compete at the North American
and World Championships of Irish Dance. As champion dancers and
experienced teachers, Miss Ali and Miss Cait provide a safe, positive,
energetic and culturally enriched learning environment that builds
confidence and poise.
The
Bhriomhar School is accredited by the Irish Dancing Commission
in Dublin, Ireland.
