An Important message for the 2020 - 2021 year
Our Irish dance family has been missed so very much during this most unusual time. The health and well-being of our dancers and our dance families comes first and foremost.
The reality of trying to put together a safe environment in which to offer in-person lessons has proved more and more challenging. Many Irish dance schools - including ours in Saratoga - have found themselves additionally challenged by lack of useable space. Most schools are simply - and quite understandably - not able to rent/lease their own spaces to outside activities.
As such, sadly, in person classes will NOT be held this Fall at Mise Eire Saratoga. Dance brings me so much joy - so this decision has not been made lightly. I will continually reassess the situation as the school year gets underway and we see how local and regional public health fares in that process. It is my full intention to have our dancers back and dancing in person when it is safe and feasible to so.
For now, our dancers will have the opportunity to take VIRTUAL Irish dance classes with our sister school on Long Island. The Babylon school went "virtual" for much of the remainder of the spring and summer with great success: lots of "tiny feet" kept on dancing. Registration information will be available soon for those dancers wishing to continue their irish dance lessons online.
I miss all of you very much - and hope you are all well. KEEP ON DANCING!

"Mise Eire" (pronounced Mish-a Air-a) is Gaelic for "I am Ireland" and is the title of a famous Irish poem by Padraic Pearse.
We believe that each dancer - beginner or advanced, young or old - embodies the rich culture of Ireland with every step he or she takes on the dance floor.
We believe that each dancer - beginner or advanced, young or old - embodies the rich culture of Ireland with every step he or she takes on the dance floor.
At Mise Eire, we believe in a healthy, fun approach to Irish dance. During classes, our dancers learn dance skills, techniques, and steps, which are woven together with the concepts of self-awareness, positive self-esteem, and the value and importance of team work. In an increasingly multicultural world it is essential for our children to develop an understanding of cultural art forms.
It is our hope that by teaching them to love Irish dance, we are helping to foster a greater appreciation for other cultures as well.
Mise Eire Irish Dancers in Saratoga Springs is under the direction of Dympna Lynch Weil, TCRG. Dympna is a life-long Irish dancer who attained her degree/license in Irish dance from the Irish Dance Commission in Dublin in 2000. She co-founded Mise Eire on Long Island with her Aunt, Patti Love, TCRG. Dympna's love for Irish dance and her desire to share her culture and skill with her young daughter encouraged her to establish classes in her new home of Saratoga Springs.
Classes are held at the Waldorf High School in Downtown Saratoga Springs, NY.
Mise Eire is a registered Irish dance school with An Coimisuin le Rinci Gaelacha and the North American Irish Dance Teachers' Association.
