What is Dalriada?

Our studio takes its name from the ancient kingdom of Dalriada that spanned parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland around the 5th century AD. The kingdom covered what is now known as County Antrim in Northern Ireland to the Inner Hebrides and Argyll in Scotland.

Our Studio

Join us in our private air conditioned studio in Cranbook where classes are scheduled during school terms. Classes for beginners to champion dancers of all ages are held during the week.

Champion dancers who are preparing for a major competition are welcomed into the studio on Saturdays for targeted training. The goal is for our dancer’s mental and physical condition to peak throughout the year in rhythm with the competition calendar.

Our Philosophy

At Dalriada, we believe in hard work, kindness, and dedication. We love inspiring young dancers to embrace the traditional steps of Scotland and Ireland.

Whether your goal is to dance for fun and make life-long friends, share your love of dance at performances around Townsville, or if you dream of appearing on the world stage, we have a place for you at Dalriada.
