- The majority of the members compete in Irish and/or Highland at least two times a year.
- Members aren't afraid to try new styles of dance and stretch comfort zones.
- They are organized, prepared and self motivated.
- There is no upper or lower age limit. We're looking for experience, passion and parental support, if you're a minor.

- Master class in front of a friendly panel of judges.
- Be prepared to show a couple of steps of your favorite or best dance.

The commitment:
