About us
The Beach Academy of Irish Dance was created by one of Regina’s longest and most experienced Irish dancers. Our goal is to provide dancers with exceptional instruction of Irish Dance while inspiring a love for Irish culture and community. In the studio, we strive to provide a supportive environment where dancers can set goals for themselves and receive guidance from instructors to improve on their abilities and self-confidence. In the community, we aim to share Irish culture by performing at community events and senior living residences, as well as venues around the city on St. Patrick’s Day!
