The school offers the opportunity to learn Irish Dancing in a fun and friendly  environment.  There is the possibility of becoming involved in public displays.  All  of the Erinmorne dancers will help one another along, and I encourage any new  students to join an any time of the year.  Dancers build lasting friendships, not only  with fellow dancers in the classes, but through performing in displays and  competing in competitions, meeting children of their own age from all parts of  Northern Ireland and abroad.
