The Dinan School Of Ballet.
Over the years our students have performed with the Ukranian State Ballet and the Ellen Kent Opera Company, the Royal Academy of Dance and the Galway Arts Festival. Our television appearances include RTE's People In Need, the Late Late Toy Show, Sky One's Got to Dance and RTE's Pump Up My Dance. Students have also successfully auditioned for the Yorkshire Ballet Seminars, the Irish National Youth Ballet, the Irish Youth Russian Ballet Company, Youth Ballet West and the Monica Loughman Ballet Company. Our students have consistently gained high marks in exams with the RAD and IDTA and have won scholarships to summer schools with both the RAD and YBS as well as several nominations to the International Theatre Dance Awards.
In 2012 our students won All Ireland titles in both ballet and theatrecraft in the IDTA All Ireland Championships as well as the perpetual shield for best choreography. We were also successful at the INDA solo ballet competition. In 2013 our students won All Ireland titles in ballet, tap and freestyle with the IDTA and won five awards at the Irish National Dance Awards. We also won first place in ballet grades at the International Theatre Dance Awards, held in Manchester.
Locally we've been involved in fashion shows and fundraisers and we've performed with Ennis Musical Society and the Ennis Street Festival. All our students get to perform in our annual show in Glor and also have regular opportunities to take dance exams.
The school offers expert tuition to all levels from pre-school to advanced.
