Why is Rince Nia Academy the right choice for my child?
At Rince Nia Academy we strive to create a family orientated environment. We believe that all our
students should be able to have fun while learning, but also know that hard work and determination
will be needed to reach their full potential. Rince Nia Academy puts equal emphasis on performance and competition, allowing the student to figure out what they enjoy most. Through Rince Nia Academy
classes a student will learn discipline, confidence and skills that will serve them long into their lives.
Do you have to be Irish to Irish dance?
No, all that is needed is a keen interest to learn. We welcome children of all ages and
backgrounds to come learn the joys of Irish dancing.
What is T.C.R.G. certification?
T.C.R.G. certification stands for "Teasgicoir Choimisiuin Le Rinci Gaelacha". Translation is Gaelic

competitive level. Students at a dance school with no T.C.R.G. certified instructors are not allowed
to compete in competitions.
What age can my child start classes?
We accept students ages 4 and up.
When will my child be able to compete/perform?
Students are allowed to begin competing and performing after their Beginner Debut. In order to
compete or perform students must purchase the Rince Nia Academy school costume.
What is a feis?
A feis is an Irish dance competition where students compete against other Irish dancers.
Feisenna (plural of feis) are held throughout the year in various locations and
enables a dancer to progress in their dancing ability and class level.
