We also have practice CDs available at class for $5 & you can view dancers practicing on our YouTube page.

Teachers & Championship dancers are also available for private lessons for extra help outside of class.

Remember the 5 basics of Irish Dancing:

1.  Turn out feet    2. Cross legs  3. Keep arms in tight   4. Up on Toes  5. Dance to the music


Private Lessons & Babysitters:

If your dancer needs extra help or would like to practice more, contact a KKO teacher or Championship dancer that is qualified to teach private lessons.  You can find their contact info on the Private Lesson / Babysitting page.

Babysitters are also available.


Shoe Bin

The Shoe Bin has recently been  updated and will be available at class again. Please be courteous of the organization system as many shoes have gone unaccounted for.  All shoes should be signed in and out on the Price List.  Shoes for sale should be placed in a zip lock bag with your personal information and asking price.  Shoes to be bought should be signed out of the bin and contact the selling party immediately.  See the KKO School Store   page for a list of all items for sale.
