02
What should dancers wear to class?
Any comfortable clothing that does not restrict mobility or that is not too loose. Avoid denim or baggy clothing that covers the feet or the ankles.
03
What kind of shoes are needed?
We don't require dancers to purchase Irish dance shoes before starting class. If you choose not to purchase ghillies (soft shoes) when starting out, we recommend ballet or jazz shoes, if you already have them. Otherwise, socks are just fine! For a little extra traction, socks with grippy bottoms are another option.Once you decide that you would like to purchase shoes, I recommend:
- Ghillies (soft shoes) - Fays Celtic Choice or any other brand with a short toe and black, split sole, suede bottom.
- Hard shoes - Fays Ultra Flexi, Rutherford Ultra-Lite, or any other brand that is all black with black suede soled bottom. (do not purchase without prior instructor approval)
