McDonald School of Irish Dance
From their website [1]:
The McDonald School of Irish Dance was established in 2001, under the direction of Amy Markwardt, T.C.R.G. Amy's love for the art of Irish Step dancing started at the age of 8, as a student with the Butler Academy in Syracuse, New York. Her passion for Irish Dance is now passed on to students of all ages throughout Central New York. The school's mission is to provide students with a fun, healthy environment to develop their talent, and for some, their Irish culture.
All dancers are given the opportunity to perform at community events as well as to compete in local and regional feiseanna and national and world competitions as they qualify. With relatively small classes, we strive to provide each student with individual attention to their dancing skills. Proper form and technique, flexibility, stamina, and stage presence are the main focus. Students are also encouraged to acquire life lessons such as dedication, teamwork, and a positive attitude.
The sport of Irish Dance offers a great outlet for building motor skills such as balance, physical fitness, and coordination. With the most up-to-date material provided to our dancers through intensive classes and workshops, each dancer is given the opportunity to thrive in all aspects of their Irish dancing career. Whatever your child's dancing goals may be, we work to achieve their potential in learning while most importantly, making their entire experience with Irish Dance a wonderful, memorable one.
