Rince na Chroi offers classes for beginners as young as three up through advanced students. We also teach adults.

All classes are held at Concordia University in St. Paul. We practice in the theater arts building located at 312 Hamline Avenue North, St. Paul, MN 55104. Tuition is due every three-four months.

Students will learn traditional Irish dance steps while focusing on technique and form. We also concentrate on training and conditioning. We are a performance-based school, so our dancers are constantly learning new choreography and focus on teamwork.

Classes start each fall in late September and run through mid-August. Prospective dancers and their parents are welcome to set up a time to visit one of our classes throughout the year.

Dance Camp

No dance experience needed! Spend part of your summer with us at dance camp.

Campers learn Irish basics, play games, and create crafts.

Signup cutoff is June. Camp is hosted in July based on experience level.

Like Family

Rince na Chroi has become like family to us.

Morgan has grown up and learned so much from all the wonderful teachers.

Being able to get out into the community and share the love of Irish Dance has been something that has brought so much happiness and excitement to everyone.

We LOVE RNC!

Camaraderie and Joy

I'm in a somewhat unique position of being both a dance mom and adult dancer at Rince na Chroi. Our two girls absolutely love their teachers, the music, and the whole atmosphere. The older students are wonderful role models and they take the younger students under their wing. The lack of competition makes for a more inclusive and encouraging dance environment that fosters a sense of real camaraderie and joy.

Personally, I love getting the opportunity to master a new skill as an adult! Everyone is so supportive, I've made amazing friends, and can't wait to continue on. I feel so lucky to have found such an incredible place to spend so much time. Rince na Chroi is THE place to be!!!

Positive Impact

Rince na Chroi is special. My daughter started dancing at 6 years old.

Through the past years, dance has taught her about commitment, hard work, and has helped her self confidence greatly.

As a parent it's been a pleasure to be involved and experience such a wonderful community that has such a positive impact. Rince na Chroi is truly a second family.
