Fitzpatrick School of Irish Dance
School Mission
bringing ireland to the north shore
​
We empower our dancers with the skills and confidence to learn, perform, compete and, above all, bring JOY to others through Irish dance.
​
We serve as a touch of Ireland in Lake Forest, using every opportunity to integrate Irish music, culture, arts and sport into our program.
We cherish our community of dancers, families and partners who support our mission, share in our joy, and uphold a standard of excellence both on and off the dance floor.
School Experience
​
Dance, dance, dance!
​
Our program is designed to honor both the art and discipline of Irish dance. Dancers learn traditional and contemporary styles of Irish dance in all forms, including solos, figures, céilís and choreographies.
​
We welcome children of all ages and skill levels, and encourage performing and competing through a balanced approach.
Our program intentionally cultivates experiences for the FSID Family - like exclusive performances and community gatherings - to celebrate Irish dance, music and of course our children!
