All of the school’s instructors share their experience and knowledge with their students, focusing on traditional Irish Dance techniques and proper form. Students are encouraged to learn at a pace suited to their needs, while working with the teachers as well as other dancers in the class. Students are expected to further their skill and ability through participation at class, and regular practice at home.

Dance steps are tailored to fit competition levels and requirements as per the rules of the Western Canadian Irish Dance Teacher's Association. As the school is competitive, dancers regularly attend feisanna the region, and set goals to achieve success in both solo and team competitions. National and International competition opportunities are available to dancers who reach Championship level and achieve specific qualifications.

Dancers are taught to be supportive of one another and to practice good sportsmanship at all times when representing the school. A healthy competitive environment is created by a low pressure approach, and students are reminded to keep perspective and concentrate on achieving personal best. Dancers must be able to handle winning as well as losing, while maintaining a positive attitude and love of the dance for the right reasons
