You also get to dance at some of the premier festivals in our local areas like the World A'fair and the Dayton Celtic Festival. Irish dance costumes and the dancing are beautiful and modest. The movements of Irish dancing are age appropriate - there isn't any hip shaking or thrusting in Irish dance! Along with getting to dance and perform at public and private functions as well as competitons there are even MORE benefits to becoming a McGovern Ceili Dancer! Increases Physical Skills-

Irish Dance helps dancers young and old develop body control and coordination. It creates strong leg muscles and nimble feet. Dancing is also a great aerobic exercise

Increases Mental Skills -

Dancers must listen to their teachers, follow their directions, memorize steps, and dance to a beat. They also have to develop the ability to recognize, understand and fix their mistakes.

Increases Competitive Spirit and Goal-Setting -

Feisanna will encourage the dancer’s desire to do well and to dance to the best of their ability, in fields of sometimes over a hundred dancers.

Increases Self Esteem -

It helps to increase the dancer’s confidence and develop a stage presence

Forms Lasting Friendships - Not only with classmates, but through performing and competing, Irish dancers meet others from all parts of the city, state, country and world. http://ashleyirishdances.com/about/benefits-of-irish-dancing/
