Testimonial

Hear from our graduates and their experiences on the programme.    

I feel connected to the Irish dancing world in entirely new way thanks to the postgrad certificate experience. As a new teacher, this course has transformed my teaching methods and given me the confidence to support dancers of all ages, backgrounds and experiences.

I have learned so much from course director, Dr Róisín Cahalan, her panel of expert guest speakers, and my supportive cohort. I highly recommend this programme to dance professionals seeking an informed and holistic approach to teaching.
