About Dance Concepts
Dance Concepts runs children’s ballet and contemporary classes in community venues across five counties: Galway, Mayo, Cork, Clare and Kildare. Ballet follows the BBO Dance curriculum, and acro is taught alongside it.
Classes run from Tiny Tots taking their first steps through beginners and teens. The school has been teaching since 2016 and is deliberately non-competitive: there are no competitions and no grading pressure, and the stated focus is confidence, creativity and independence.
It also delivers the Creative Moves and Little Big Steps programmes into schools and crèches. New families can take a two-week trial before joining.
