Irish Dance instruction is offered at the Studio of Dance
Arts in Eureka, teaching traditional solo and set dances to students
ranging in age from 5 - Adult. Classes are offered in both soft and hard shoes;
ceili and figure dancing are included.
Through the Studio's affiliation with the Yeates
Academy of Irish Dance, our students are eligible to compete in
local, regional, national, and World Irish Dance Competitions called "feis".
The Yeates Academy is registered with
the Irish Dancing Commission, Dublin, Ireland. Currently,
the Studio has dancers ranging from beginners to preliminary champion. Sinead
Yeates-Kelly T.C.R.G.(Accredited Teacher of Irish Dance) offers workshops at
the Studio regularly.
The Emerald Coast Dancers are the
Studio's performance troupe. Ranging from beginner to preliminary champion, the
dancers have performed at fairs, schools, church functions, care facilities,
restaurants and clubs, wedding and parties and numerous community events including:
the Blue Lake Folk Festival, the Morris Graves Museum of Arts, and the Westhaven
Center for the Arts. They have also accompanied Good Company, our local Celtic
band, and Natalie MacMaster. The performance troupe dancers are our core performers;
however, students from all class levels are given an opportunity to perform throughout
the year culminating with our annual recital in June.
