Kildare Academy of Irish Step Dance

We strive to afford all of our students an opportunity for creative self-expression without the unnecessary pressure of professional "competition." We believe that the confidence, poise, and enrichment dance provides is valuable to the development of all children, and that, above all, it should be a positive, rewarding, and fun learning experience. We believe that dance is an art form. It is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated.

Walk into this dance studio tucked in Swan Commons Shopping Center and you'll find yourself in a thoughtfully equipped space built for serious training. Located just past McDonald's along Montauk Highway, there's plenty of parking without the hassle of hunting for a spot—especially convenient during those busy winter months when you're juggling multiple activities. The waiting areas are generously sized with flatscreen displays so you can settle in comfortably while catching glimpses of class time. What sets the place apart is the flooring itself: it's engineered with cushioning technology that absorbs impact from all those jumps and spins, keeping dancers' bodies protected through intensive routines.

Head to either of two convenient spots—one on Maple Ave in Rockville Centre or over on Waverly Ave in Patchogue—to connect with a community that dances its way through the entire Tri-State area. Weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly socials keep the momentum going across Manhattan, Queens, and surrounding regions, offering plenty of chances to find new partners and meet fellow dancers who share your passion. Winter months bring a cozy energy to indoor venues, making it the perfect season to pick up fundamentals in Salsa, Merengue, Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Swing, and Hustle before hitting the floor at upcoming events. Getting comfortable with basic moves beforehand means you'll enjoy yourself more, and your dance partners will notice the difference. The invitation is open—join the rotation and discover how much fun dancing socially can be.
