Bloomfield Shopping Centre, Lower George's Street Lower, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin A96 Y7W6

The Loft Dance Studio is a boutique movement space located in the heart of Dún Laoghaire, Dublin. Created "by a dancer for dancers," it is designed as a minimalist, light-filled sanctuary for expression and growth. Unlike traditional competitive schools, The Loft markets itself as an "elevated space" for adults and enthusiasts of all levels to explore movement without judgment. The studio offers a diverse timetable including Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, and Contemporary dance, alongside specialized workshops in Yoga and Irish Dance. It features high-quality professional dance floors and a modern, aesthetic interior, serving as a creative hub for the local Dublin dance community.

Accessibility

The studio is designed as an inclusive space, though its "Loft" location presents specific access features:

  • Entrance & Access: To enter, visitors use an intercom system to the left of the main door. The studio is located "upstairs," and while the building is a modern commercial unit, the studio emphasizes its "elevated" design.

  • Physical Access: The studio recommends that any patrons with specific mobility requirements contact them in advance via the portal or email to ensure they can be comfortably accommodated, as access involves a flight of stairs to reach the "Loft" level.

  • Facilities: The venue includes dedicated changing rooms and toilet facilities on the studio floor.

  • Safety: The studio uses a CCTV system (video only) in public areas for safety, with footage retained for 14 days.

Car Parking

The Loft Dance Studio is located in the Bloomfields Shopping Centre area of Dún Laoghaire. While there is no private studio-only parking, several public options exist:

  • Bloomfields Shopping Centre Car Park: This is the most convenient option, as the studio is located within the shopping centre complex. It is a large, paid multi-story car park.

  • On-Street Parking: Paid "Pay-and-Display" parking is available on Lower George’s Street and surrounding side streets.

  • Public Transport: The studio is highly accessible via public transport, located just a short walk from the Dún Laoghaire DART station and numerous bus routes (including the 7, 7A, and 46A).

Café & Bar

  • In-Centre Dining: As the studio is situated in Bloomfields Shopping Centre, visitors have immediate access to various cafés and food outlets within the mall, such as Costa Coffee and Tesco.

  • Nearby Dining: The studio is in the heart of Dún Laoghaire, meaning a wide array of local restaurants, bistros, and delis (such as Two Pups Coffee or Saba To Go) are within a 5-minute walk.

  • No On-site Bar: The studio itself does not have a bar or licensed café, focusing instead on its function as a movement sanctuary.
