Monday Class 3 (7-8pm) is a progression-only class, suitable for children who have been personally advised by Miss Judith to move on to it.

This light-work class provides a structured and supportive environment where dancers refine technique, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of Irish dancing.

Placement is by recommendation only. If you are new to the school, please contact Miss Judith at judithkeyesdance@gmail.com prior to booking to ensure the correct class is selected. New member registration for the 2026/27 season opens in June for current non-members.

This is a drop-and-go class. All children must be comfortable attending independently and confident using the toilet without assistance. No adults are permitted in the studio, in line with safeguarding policies and to maintain a calm, focused environment.

All dancers must wear the regulation uniform: JK Irish Dance T-shirt and black canvas Irish dancing pumps. Uniforms are available via our in-house shop.

Bookings are strictly non-transferable and non-refundable and are subject to the school’s Terms and Conditions. A £15 annual registration fee is included. Please note Ballet requires a separate registration.

Founded in 2015 by Miss Judith Keyes, a multi-award-winning champion and adjudicator, JK Irish Dance & Ballet is a leading school known for excellence, care, and strong progression pathways.

As a festival-style school, the focus is on technique, performance, and enjoyment-no makeup, no fake tan, and no elaborate costumes-creating a positive and inclusive environment for every dancer.

The most recent Class Festival took place in 2025 at St Brigid's Church of Ireland, Glengormley. We are excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary this year, with a special festival planned. Dates to be confirmed soon.

Students benefit from a wide range of opportunities including classes, competitions, performances, camps, and community events, building confidence, friendships, and lasting memories.

At JK, every child is known by name and supported within a welcoming, high-quality dance community based in Glengormley, Newtownabbey.
