The Irish Dancers of Savannah
- a Savannah FIRST |
Our Mission
| To preserve and promote Irish culture in Savannah through dance |
Founded in 1989, the purpose of the Irish Dancers of
Savannah is to "promote and preserve Irish culture and
tradition in Savannah through dance". The IDS are devoted to
"keeping the tradition alive" by providing Irish dance lessons
to children and adults and by performing lively dance routines
at various cultural, religious, civic and private events.
Under the direction of Savannah native Maria Kenney
Buckhaults, who has been dancing for over 40 years, this
hard working and energetic group was the city's first organized
Irish dance school. The group's studio and meeting hall,
known as the Irish Cultural Center, is conveniently located in
midtown Savannah, and welcomes all of Savannah Irish to
their center. Each August, the group hosts the city's first Irish
dance competition, the Historic Savannah Feis.
The IDS work in association with Rince nah' Eireann (RNE)
School of Irish Dance, one of the country's most well
respected Irish dance schools. RNE founder Sandra
Connick, a certified Irish dance instructor (TCRG), along with
a highly qualified team of non-certified instructors, humbly take
pride in providing solid dance training to their students, while
instilling in them a true love of the dance. RNE and the IDS
continually produce exceptional dancers at all levels of
competitive and non-competitive Irish dance.
A true family atmosphere abounds with the Irish Dancers of
Savannah - where LOYALTY & FRIENDSHIP reign and
everyone is welcome to JOIN THE DANCE!
