Our group greatly enjoyed this experience. We joined in singing some traditional Irish Songs (eg Whisky in the Jar, Irish Rover), demonstrations were given of traditional Irish instruments, including tin whistle, guitar, Uilleann pipes, Bodhrun. Explanations and demonstrations of different Irish dances were given, and the group was taught three short dances, which were accessible to all ranges of physical... More

Myself and 5 girl friends spent the afternoon learning how to Irish dance and listening to some very talented musicians and vocalists. Such a great way to experience some of the talent and culture of this amazing city. Thanks guys! We really enjoyed ourselves:) (any continued to practise our new moves as we explored some of Dublins finest nightlife!) More

A couple of friends and I were very up for learning some Irish dances and having just a good giggle but unfortunately this wasn't that great. The darkened room with bad disco balls underneath the bar of a hotel is not the best environment but that wouldn't have bothered us at all if the actual dancing had been ok, but... More

My Dublin's visit would have been incomplete without 'The Irish Dance Party'! Daniel introduced me with the authentic Irish songs, instruments, some subtle humour and positive mood. The Irish dancing performance was really professional and the lessons were a great fun, I still can remember the main moves:) Highly recommended! More

We were a hen party over from London and loved the Irish dancing. Best 12euros you can spend, and cheap especially for Dublin. brilliant afternoon and the cocktails made it even better. would be a must have recommendation for future hen parties. You can also just pay on the door and not have to worry or go through a silly... More
