About Us

Our Story

Ottawa Irish Dance Company is a family friendly dance studio specializing in traditional Irish dance. We are located in the Centre-West of Ottawa, in the old Ottawa Citizen Building at 2-1101 Baxter Road.

We offer two studios with professional sprung floors and mirrors. Our mission is to make Irish dance and culture as accessible as possible, so we offer a unique payment structure. Students sign up for the year but parents pay in monthly instalments. You can read more about our programs below!

Email us about studio rentals both long and short term. We currently have daytime, weekend, and evening availability. All percussive dance styles welcome including tap, flamenco and step dancing.
