Our Little Jiggers class is a fun and engaging introduction to Irish dancing, designed for both boys and girls, suitable for confident walkers up to pre-school age. This class is ideal for complete beginners as well as children who are still in the early stages of their Irish dancing journey.

Through music and movement, children develop key physical skills such as balance, coordination, and rhythm, alongside early learning skills like counting, focus, listening, and following instructions — all in a supportive and joyful environment.

As a Festival Irish Dancing School, we maintain a natural approach to presentation:

-Wigs, fake tan, and makeup are not permitted.
-While many of our dancers enjoy participating in competitions, competitive dancing is entirely optional. Children are equally welcome to attend for enjoyment, fitness, and friendship.
-We are proud to be a cross-community school, with a strong ethos of promoting inclusivity, respect, and unity through dance.

Important Information:

-This is a parent/guardian-supported class, with a strict 1 adult: 1 child ratio. The same adult does not need to stay each week.
-A parent/responsible adult is required to stay for the duration of the session.
-We allow a small baby (6 months and under) to accompany a parent in a carrier for feeding purposes, but unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional children beyond this age group.
-After the trial period, a pair of black festival-style pumps and a school t-shirt will be required (both available to purchase directly from the school).

Please ensure you book the correct session time — all bookings are strictly non-transferable and non-refundable, regardless of reason.
All bookings are subject to the school’s T&Cs.

We look forward to welcoming your child to our dancing family!
