At Na Laochra, our passion goes beyond Irish dance. We care about dance education from the ground up, including nutrition, strength and conditioning, and injury prevention. We pride ourself on producing confident, powerful, well-rounded dancers, using our own unique teaching methods, cutting edge choreography, and fun fitness routines, which we believe amount to a winning formula.
Our dancers have won competitions around the globe, from right here in Scotland to Australia and beyond.
