Welcome!

The Ni Ghabhann Irish Dance Academy is a fully registered Irish Dancing School catering for people in Hamilton City and the Northern Waikato Region. We are registered with the Irish Dancing Commission and the Traditional Irish Dancing Association of New Zealand.

All new and perspective students are required to fill out this enrollment form.

We provide Traditional and Comtemporary Irish Dance classes for dancers of all ages and abilities. Whether you are 6 or 66 you are welcome in our Academy. Because of the children's learning abilities and the need for them to settle in to school, we do not accept children under the age of 6 unless they have an older family member enrolled with us who can help them practise. We do expect a high standard of work, but we also encourage passion and love for dance and we nurture those of you who work hard.

We also like to instill a knowledge of Irish Culture and Language.

We provide competitive classes and non competitive classes.

As a NGIDA Student you will be required to perform in our annual St. Patrick's Day show and our End of Year Show. You will also be required to take school exams (unless you are an Adult Student, in whcih case, School exams are optional).

You will be required to put work in outside of class time, practise your steps, stretch, keep up your fitness, but you are not required to compete or take comission exams.

Once you have filled out this form, you will hear from one of us within 3 days. If the class you are enrolling for is full, you will be put on a waiting list and advised as soon as a space becomes available.

Thanks very much for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you!
