It is the McBride School’s mission to share our experience and love of Irish Dance with all our dancers, while providing them with the tools they need to develop their talents, set their goals, and achieve their dreams.  Our goal is to train dancers to the highest standards  - no matter whether they choose to dance competitively or just for the love of it!   We strive to provide a safe and friendly atmosphere where our dancers can be nurtured as they learn.  As the dancers master new and harder steps, they gain self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.   Along the way, they develop their individual talents and abilities, as well as stamina, discipline and poise in a supportive and respectful environment.   Our instructors are dedicated to teaching our dancers as unique individuals, while instilling a sense of community and friendship.   It is important to us that you enjoy coming to class, being with your friends, and knowing that at the McBride School, you are not just a dancer, but part of our Family!  T.E.A.M. McBride, where T.ogether E.veryone A.chieves M.ore!

At the McBride School, competition can be a rewarding and enjoyable part of the Irish Dance experience.  For our dancers who choose to compete, our Instructors work hard to promote teamwork, encouragement, and a healthy competitive spirit, both on and off the stage.  Dancers are given the opportunity to compete at the local, regional, national, and international competition levels as individuals and as part of a ceili and/or choreography team.  For those who choose not to compete, the McBride School provides many opportunities throughout the year for performances.

The McBride School strives to provide a safe, friendly and family atmosphere where our dancers can learn Irish Dance to their full potential.   We invite you to join us today!
