Turku - Class descriptions

Class names correspond to competition levels.
The following guidelines can be used to help find the right class(es), but don’t hesitate to ask guidance from your teacher if needed.
  • Competitive dancers & dancers doing Grade Exams: It is highly recommended that competitive dancers attend classes at all levels in which they have dances in. Dancers are required to attend weekly classes regularly, as well as TCRG workshops organized by the dance school, in order to obtain a competition permit.


  • Non-competitive dancers are welcome for classes at all levels, and their transition from one level to another is guided by the development of the technique required in Irish dancing as well as the learning the choreographies in the right way.


Competing in our dance school is completely voluntary.
