Welcome to Rince Na Saor, Rochester's recreational Irish dance school!  Since 1997, Rince Na Saor ("rinka na sayer") has provided an alternative to the typical competition-based Irish dance school, offering children and adults the opportunity to learn traditional Irish dance in an environment focused exclusively on recreational students.  Rince Na Saor's unique curriculum was developed specifically to meet the needs of the recreational student, which include lower costs, a smaller time commitment, and a more relaxed learning pace.

The links below will tell you more about us, and you can contact me at kathyw[at]rincenasaor.com with any questions you may have.

Annual Show

Current Announcements

●  For any visitors to this site looking for Irish dancers to perform over St. Patrick's Day, Rince Na Saor is not a performing group and doesn't have dancers for hire; as a recreational school, we only have one performance in June at the end of our program year. 

●  So nice to see everyone back from their holidays!  Costumes have been ordered, and we're all getting started on our routines for our annual show. 

●  Dance Studio Life published my letter to the editor.  You can read it here:  Dance Studio Life Mail (it's the second letter down).  Let's hear it for all the Irish dancers everywhere who keep our beautiful heritage alive in whatever way works best for them, whether that's an occasional ceili, a feis (competition) stage, or anything in-between.
