What Teachers Say

I had always danced when I was younger and I really wanted to get back into it. I did the Stepping Out course in Arklow and I loved it. I decided I wanted to become involved and did the teacher training course. I enjoyed the course but I really liked the in class training. I just loved the dancing and I found I picked up something different from all the teachers I assisted. I have now moved into the Stepping Out head office where I work full time, but I still do my classes because I really love teaching. The social nights are great. When you get twelve or more Stepping Out teachers on the floor of a club all dancing our routines together, the place just comes to a standstill.

I have been with Stepping Out right from the start. I had no formal dance training so was very nervous but the course was really good and I knew I was really prepared before I did my first class. I have seen the company grow from a small dance company to what it is today. I have worked full time, went off and had my baby and now work three nights a week. Stepping Out are very flexible and that has been brilliant for me. I could not actually imagine a life without Stepping Out at this stage.

I had always danced. I had been an all Ireland champion ballroom dancer and had represented Ireland in many competitions including the World Latin American and Ballroom championship. I always wanted to work in the dance industry. To do this I had to go to the states where I worked with the Fred Astaire dance studio. I loved the industry but missed home. I had heard of Stepping Out while I was over there and I applied for the teacher training course. I was accepted and returned to Ireland. The course was brilliant, as good as, or better than anything I had seen in the states. I love working with Stepping Out, I love teaching and I am finally able to do what I always wanted to do where I wanted to do it.
