Cead Mile Failte! 
Welcome to the McBride School
of Irish Dance

The mission of the McBride School of Irish Dance is to offer quality Irish Dance instruction, while providing a safe, supportive and positive learning environment that lends itself to developing well-rounded and confident dancers.  Our goals for students in the McBride School are to: (1) Work Hard, (2) Have Fun,  (3) Enjoy Dancing, (4) Make Friends, (5) Build Confidence and (6) Learn Teamwork!

Whether for competition or recreational dancing, we offer an Irish Dance program that develops each Dancer to their full potential when training in this intricate and athletic dance form.  The McBride School offers beginner through championship level classes for all ages (including adults in select locations).  New students are always welcomed!  Opportunities are available for all McBride Dancers to participate in competition and performances.

 The McBride School was founded in 1967 under the direction of Ann McBride, A.D.C.R.G., and has been providing quality Irish Dance instruction in the San Francisco Bay Area for 45 years.  The McBride School is accredited and registered with An Coimisiun Le Rince Gaelacha, Dublin Ireland (CLRG - the Irish Dance Commission), and the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA), Western U.S. Region.
With their combined experience and passion for teaching, Ann McBride and Eileen McBride-Parker, TCRG, take great pride in having taught over three generations of dancers.

No matter whether you choose to dance competitively or for recreation and exercise, irish Dancing is a very rewarding activity that teachers discipline, develops character, instills dedication and builds confidence, all while making lasting friendships and memories.  We invite you to join us.

Our home studio is located in Dublin, California, but we also offer classes in Oakland, Concord, San Rafael and Vallejo.  Please see our Class Location pages for additional class information.
