WELCOME!
Welcome to all our new and returning dancers for this year!
We hope you will enjoy participating in our Irish Dance Classes for this year.
As mentioned on the homepage of this site, Kylie & Shelley are Volunteer Dance Instructors for the PCYC and we volunteer their services to run the classes and coordinate the various performances throughout the year, including our major performance, the annual PCYC Irish Dancers Concert. To understand where your class fees go, please review our fundraising information.
