Welcome!

Welcome to the exciting world of McGovern Irish Dance! Whether you're brand new to Irish dance or a returning member, this site is your go-to resource for all things beginner-level and beyond.

Irish dance is much more than just learning steps—it’s an incredible way to stay active, connect with others, and build lifelong skills. As a form of exercise, Irish dance boosts your cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and improves coordination, all while having fun! But it doesn’t stop there—Irish dance is also a fantastic way to socialize and make lasting friendships with fellow dancers who share your passion.

Beyond the physical benefits and the social connection, Irish dance teaches valuable life lessons. Through practice, students develop discipline and determination, learning that persistence leads to progress. Working together in class fosters teamwork and cooperation, skills that translate far beyond the dance floor. Irish dance builds confidence, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment in every step.

This website is designed to help you on your journey, whether you’re just starting out or looking for a refresher. We hope it inspires you to keep learning, practicing, and growing as part of our wonderful McGovern Irish Dance community!

We firmly believe that positive movement communities have a special power to change lives. Obesity, isolation, and uncertainty are just a few of the real challenges youth and adults face today. Many are longing for the support of a positive community. Motivated by passion for movement, we have seen first-hand the ways Irish dance, and music help to change the course for students - beginning with building healthy bodies as a foundation for learning to practice discipline, work with others, face challenges with grace, and take creative approaches to problem solving...all with the support of like-minded developing artists and instructors.
