We rehearse Wednesday nights at 7pm in Shorewood. We usually dance between 1-2 hours depending on what we're working on. Each month we have around 2-3 show opportunities (both paid and unpaid)! As a member of MIDC you are expected to perform. However, you can sign up for each show as it works in your schedule.

Our dancers range from non-competitive to Novice to PC/OC to World-Qualifier. No matter where you stopped in your dance career, you are welcome! Our show-style choreography can be adapted to suit your individual abilities and style.

Yes! We have had many dancers in MIDC that perform with us but also compete for other schools. As an inclusive performance company we only do show style choreography. If you are still competing and want to dance with us - talk to your TC about it!

YES! You will be surprised at how quickly your body remembers how to Irish dance. You're not alone, either. We have several dancers who haven't done the reel in 12 years! In fact, most of us wear clean tennis shoes during rehearsal - so if you can't find your shoes, no worries!

MIDC is designed for dancers who already have a background in Irish dance. However, if you want to learn how to Irish dance or just brush up on your skills - the Milwaukee Irish Dance Studio offers a wide range of Adult Irish Dance classes.
