Leslie Wilson - Director, Scoil Rince De DanaanLeslie successfully completed the Irish Dancing Commission's teacher's exam (T.C.R.G) in California in January, 2000. In forming her own school, Scoil Rince De Danaan, she combines her love of dancing and teaching with her background in cultural anthropology. A student of indigenous cultures, Irish history and lore, Leslie introduces her students to Celtic mythology and Irish history, in addition to Irish dance technique and choreography.

Irish Dance classes are offered to children and adults, beginner through advanced, in solo step dancing (reels, jigs, slip jigs, hornpipes), and ceili dancing. Each class is organized by age and ability and the dancers follow a progression from elementary steps to more intricate ones. Story time is an integral part of the beginner classes every fall where dancers learn about the tales, characters, and events in Irish history and mythology that will later be portrayed in dance dramas.
