Special Programs: Private Instruction
New York's groundbreaking educational and performance institution of American Irish Dance.
Founded by Deirdre Lowry in 1998
No two children are alike, either cognitively or physically.
Therefore, we acknowledge that group instruction often needs to be augmented with private training, designed for the specific mental, physical and even the emotional needs of the student. Most importantly, private instruction reduces or even eliminates the risk of injury. A student’s specific alignment, bone structure and muscle strength will be thoroughly analyzed, in order to train that student in the safest and most efficient way to execute the technique that he or she is learning.
Students wishing to advance at an accelerated pace are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this invaluable program.
We have dedicated space in the weekly schedule for student solo sessions with the Artistic Director, Deirdre Lowry. Private instruction is available only on a limited basis. In these sessions students will work on alignment, strength, coordination, balance, turn-out, footwork, extension, jumps, turns or any other area of training that they would like to improve. There will be an additional charge for these classes, but focused private instruction can change a students dance experience, and overall physical well-being immeasurably.
For the student who desires one on one with an eye on his/her own personal growth and goals, this individually focused opportunity is the way to go.
Note: Students taking fewer than 2 technique classes per week are not approved.
