WE ARE OIDA

Established in 2017

At OIDA, we love Irish dancing -- and it shows! Our goal is to build self-esteem and confidence through the wonderful sport and art of Irish dancing. We want our students to leave each class feeling successful and excited for next time. Through example, we show our students how to see the good in every experience, while recognizing, valuing, and being excited about the fact that there is always room for improvement. We teach our students to enjoy the journey and the hard work that gets them somewhere, and we encourage our students to be creative, ask questions, and be the best that they can be!
