Here's a unique way to get kids moving - by dancing the Irish jig and more!

Sue Garner founded the Tir Na Nog" Irish Dance School in Central Pennsylvania.

Students get a real aerobic workout while learning and performing some great cultural dances.

Garner teaches the kids the steps and they learn self -confidence along the way.  According to Garner,  "It means Land of the Youth in Gaelic - we have some very talented youth behind us  ---traditional Irish Jig."

Classes are held in Altoona, Bellefonte and Boalsburg.

These dancers perform at various local events including Special Olympics, People's Choice Festival, Bellefonte Children's Fair, and at Altoona Curve and State College Spikes Baseball pre-game shows.
