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 in Okotoks,
High River and Lethbridge, 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 concert, and compete at local and regional feiseanna.
Our
school is actively supported by the Okotoks
Irish Dance Association.
Our
classes are taught by Okotoks residents Alison Hampshire, TCRG,
and her sister Cait Lottis. Both are previous two time Western
Canadian Irish Dance Champions and regularly qualified for the
North American and World Championships of Irish Dance. As champion
dancers and experienced teachers, Ali and Cait provide a safe,
positive, energetic and culturally enriched learning environment
that builds confidence and poise. In addition, we are delighted to announce that Bhriomhar has taken bronze in the annual Western Wheel's Best of the Foothills reader's choice award for "Best Place to Take a Dance Class!"
The
Bhriomhar School is accredited by the Irish Dancing Commission
in Dublin, Ireland, and proud to be based in this vibrant community.
