Classes for All Ages
We offer classes for dancers of all ages. With classes starting at age 5, all the way up to 100, there's something for everyone at Prairie North Dance.
Competitive Irish Dance
Prairie North Dance participates in Open Platform competitions through the Cumann Rince Náisiunta (CRN), based in Dublin, Ireland, at the regional, national and International level. As well, competitive dancers have additional opportunities to compete in digitally based Feiseanna through the Enchanted Feis Series.
Knowledge is Power
Access to education and mentorship is a key pillar of strength for Prairie North Dance. Our dancers are very lucky to take part in several educational opportunities a year that positively impact not only our physical dance practice, but our thoughts and attitudes about ourselves as whole human beings. This intentional focus on education is what allows us to build dancers who can engage in the sport for their entire lives. Dance is for everyone.
Private Lessons Available
Looking for one-on-one coaching? Our instructors offer private lessons for dancers who want to improve their skills at their own pace.
Join Our Dance Family
At Prairie North Dance, we're more than just a dance studio. We're a community of dancers who support and encourage each other every step of the way.

Families receive a 10% discount off total tuition for the session if they register and pay in full before the start of the first class of the session.
Families with more than one dancer registered in a given dance session will receive a 15% multi-student discount off total tuition for that session. As well, Prairie North Dance offers a multi-class discount. If a dancer registers for 2 classes in a session, they will receive 10% off the total tuition amount. If a dancer registers for 3 or more classes in a session, they will receive 15% off the total tuition amount.
There is a one-time $20 registration fee per family, per year (the year includes the Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions) that will be added to your session payment at your initial registration. Example, if the registration fee is paid in the Fall session, it is not paid again when the student registers for the subsequent Winter or Spring session.
