Iona Irish Dance

Iona Irish Dance is a dynamic and competitive Irish dance group dedicated to providing dancers with a passion for Irish dance the opportunity to continue their journey throughout their college career. Founded with the mission to cultivate excellence, camaraderie, and performance artistry, our members convene regularly to refine their craft, grace campus events with electrifying performances, and partake in spirited intercollegiate competitions.

Whether you're a seasoned dancer seeking to elevate your skills or a newcomer eager to embrace this vibrant form of expression, our inclusive environment welcomes all levels of experience. Through engaging workshops tailored for beginners, we strive to ignite the spark of passion for Irish dance in every student, regardless of their background.
