History
The School was formed in 1980 by our Teacher, Mrs. Claire Regent, TCRG.
The Regent
Academy of Irish Dance is accredited by the Irish Dancing Commission in
Dublin, Ireland. The Regent Academy is also member of the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America, Inc (IDTANA) and a member of the Western Canada Irish Dancing Teachers Association (WCIDTA).
Students learn traditional soft and hard shoe dances of Irish Dance, similar to those
performed in "Riverdance".
Hornpipes, reels, jigs, combinations and show sets are assembled together into competition and show dances . Regent dancers regularly perform
shows in and around Calgary.
