We are the Burke School of Irish Dance from Youngstown, Ohio. Our teacher, Tessie Burke, has created a legacy of traditional Irish Dance for over 60 years.
Irish dancing gives children a sense of pride and confidence in their own abilities. It shows them how to dance and learn steps improving memory and cognitive abilities. Irish dance shows them how to collaborate and work with other children of different ages. It lets them learn how to have a healthy competitive drive and it teaches them to be a gracious winner and loser. It gives them a sense of where they come from by allowing them to get back in touch with their family's roots and history. Overall, the benefits are physically, mentally, and emotionally productive to a child’s well being.
