If you know anyone that is interested in having their child/children begin taking Irish Dance, please send them my email or send me their contact information.

information from my list.
Classes
1.Classes begin:
NE Philadelphia – St Dominic’s, Frankford Avenue

Chestnut Hill - PDT Studio (New Covenant Church Campus – 7500 Germantown Avenue)
Saturday, September 9th
Oreland, PA – Holy Martyrs Church Hall, Allison Road
Monday, September 18th(due to the Holy Martyrs Carnival)
2. Parents and younger siblings are asked not to stay in the room while class is in progress.
3. Parents may sit in on the first class of each month. At this class you can video tape the class and write the steps down. Steps taught in class are to be remembered; children should practice each night. It is very important for all students to stay with the rest of the class.
4. Pease purchase a copybook for your child so that they can write down and remember steps taught and any corrections they were given in class.
5. Regular class attendance is required. However, if your child misses a class he/she is welcome to make up classes at other locations. When you know that your child will miss a class, let me know and I can give you an alternative class location and time.
6. If classes are missed due to injuries, dancers are encouraged and expected to attend class but will not dance until a letter from a doctor is received clearing the dancer from his/her injury.
7. Please have your child use the bathroom before dance class begins. Using the bathroom during class takes away from class time. If it is an emergency, I will let them use the bathroom during class.

Correspondence
All of the school’s correspondence is done via email and through the dancing school website and Facebook page. The website should be checked weekly for any updates and/or changes. All monthly newsletters and announcements are posted on the website. Some updates are also posed on our Facebook page - Facebook.com/CoyleSchool.
Attire
Each child should have the proper shoes and clothing when coming to dance class. Jeans and sneakers are unacceptable. Shorts, skirts, or stretch pants are fine. I must be able to see their legs and they must be able to move their legs.
All students MUST have the proper shoes for class. They will not participate if they do not have their shoes. If this is your child’s second year of Irish dance lessons, the proper soft shoes arerequired. Contact/or try Fays shoes -
All students, after dancing for one year, should have the proper music to practice with. There are many musicians on iTunes or go to Fays Ask me before purchasing any music.
Girl’s hair should be up and off their face. If your daughter’s hair is long enough it should be in a pony tail, pig tails or bun – and securely held. If it is too short for either of those styles then a headband should be worn.
There will be no gum chewing.
Do not let you child wear big jewelry to class, it is a distraction to your child and to others as well.

The dancing school participates in two parades – the Montgomery County St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The parades are not mandatory, but if the children come to parade practice they are required to walk in both parades.
