About Erickson Academy of Irish Dance

In February 1998, we started jigging in a small studio storefront on the edge of Mount Washington/Anderson Township. Our studio was located in a quiet residential neighborhood where the Mount Washington streetcar line ended years ago. After outgrowing that charming space in 2007, we’re now happy to call the Linwood community of Cincinnati our main home. The river bottoms of the area are where Cincinnati’s earliest settlers took their first steps in this beautiful city and the East End of Cincinnati was an Irish “neighborhood” of sorts called “Rat Row”. Wherever we are located, our teaching philosophy and passion for Irish dance is the same. It is the goal of Erickson Academy to teach Irish step dancing in a positive and fun way. Children are grouped by age in small classes for personal attention. We foster friendships in a respectful learning environment and nurture talent to achieve success on every level -- recreationally, socially and competitively!

Wee Ones - Pre-Schoolers

Our Wee Ones Pre-School Program (30 minutes – 1x per week) is for the youngest children interested in Irish dancing – ages 4 and 5! These classes are specifically designed for a preschooler's energy and are a perfect way to work on rhythm and motion exercises plus pre-Irish dance basics. Classes incorporate basic foot placement, jumping and balance drills, timing, and posture.

Beginner

The Beginner class (45 minutes, 1x per week) is for dancers ages 5-12. The youngest students accepted for Beginners are age 5 and starting Kindergarten — ability to focus, attention span and knowing right foot from left foot is important. Beginner dancers start by learning the basics of Irish dancing — posture, foot placement, timing, “threes” and “sevens”. Each 3-month session builds upon the previous session.
