Where can our six year old granddaughter obtain Irish step dancing beginner lessons?
I think you have a couple of options.
The O’Riada Academy of Irish Dance comes highly recommended for kids, and I believe they have two locations for lessons - one in Mission and one in Waldo. A quick search should show you a phone number, or you could try the contact email address on the Kansas City Feis website (at the bottom), because that is organized by the O’Riada Academy.
Also Clanna Eireanne have ongoing children’s Irish Ceilidh, in Overland Park, according to their website, for children aged 6-14
