School History

Established in 1994, the Halpin School of Irish Dance is situated in the city of Stuttgart, Baden Württemburg, in South West Germany.

The School is registered with CLRG (the commission of Irish Dancing), the largest governing body of Irish Dancing Worldwide based in Dublin, Ireland. The CLRG sets the highest standards for dancers, teachers and adjudicators.

Its founder, Áine Halpin (T.C.R.G.) is a fully qualified Irish Dancing teacher with CLRG (one of only 4 in Germany) and the first person in Baden Württemburg.

The school holds classes for all age groups, from 6 years. Alldancers have the opportunity to take part in competitions, ceilis, workshops and show performances. HSID dancers compete at feisanna organized by CLRG throughout Mainland Europe. Of course, many dancers simply enjoy learning Irish Dance for its own sake. The school promotes both competitive and non-competitive dancers.

Halpin School Show Group “Fainne” is also available for events such as corporate, weddings, festivals…etc. See. www.fainne.de

Áine’s classes and methods of teaching are popular both with young and old. Here” learning by doing” and having fun is the motto while at the same time proper technique is emphasized.
