EDMONDS, WA - Skipping just feels natural in the summer, and so does leaping through the beautiful trails of the Pacific Northwest and spinning on the beach in Edmonds! And if your child loves skipping, leaping, and spinning, then they will truly adore Irish dancing. At the Carroll-Henderson School of Irish Dancing’s free Open House on August 30, children will hop, leap, and spin around the dancing floor while celebrating the end of the summer.

In our Summer Open House, we will explore the basics of this living tradition (yes, it is the dance form featured in the latest Netflix film, Riverdance). Your budding dancer can use up that last bit of summer energy at the Open House before entering into the new school year. From the youngest little jumper at 3 years old to the skilled artist, any dancer can hop on into the dance studio and experience a bit of Irish culture at this Open House.

Irish dancing has been a mainstay of Irish culture since the earliest day of the celts. The traditional music and dance scene were deeply entwined, as throughout the generations, locals would gather to play music and dance. The dance form evolved from its most traditional roots when the Gaelic League was founded in 1893 that promoted Irish language and culture which included dance.

At the Carroll-Henderson School, dancers experience the harmony between the traditional music and dance. Dancers learn the traditional, artistic, and competitive aspects of Irish dancing.

Come experience this living tradition for free at our Irish Dance Open House. Registration is required online at https://www.chirishdance.com/open-class.
