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. For more information about Irish Dance, the School, the Parents' Association and the people who make it happen in our school, please look through the various pages on this website.
