New Dance Resource Website

There is a new online resource for those interested in dance that is specifically for Ireland: Dance Connection Ireland. This site aims to centralise and share information on dance and dancing in Ireland. It covers dance classes, events, news and offers a forum to discuss any issues that may arise for the dance fan.

This site will be a valuable resource for those interested in taking up dance at any stage of their lives. It will also be a good place to share ideas, opinions and critique of dance in Ireland.
