What age can my child start?+
Rince Tots welcomes little ones from 18 months with a grown-up. Children's classes start from age 4, and there's no upper limit.

A feis (pronounced “fesh”) is an Irish dance competition. Dancers compete against others at a similar level, and it's always optional.

I danced as a child. Is it too late to come back?+
