The Mary Drake School of Irish Dancing is run by Claire Bunker T.C.R.G. but it was named after her Nana who had always encouraged her to learn Irish Dancing.

Claire started dancing at the age of four and wanted to be a teacher from her early teens - an ambition realised in January 2006.

Claire is a T.C.R.G. which stands for "Teagascoir An Comhdhail le Rince Gaelacha", which roughly translates into English as Congress Certified Irish Dancing Teacher.

She teaches children from the age of four who are just starting to learn Irish dancing up to experienced senior Irish dancers at Open standard.

Parents are welcome at class and some of our parents are learning to dance alongside their children..

For older children and young adults, it is a great way to keep fit and improve stamina too.

We are based in Milton Keynes and we are affiliated to An Comhdhail Na Muinteoiri Le Rinci Gaelacha.

Lessons are held on Monday and Tuesday evenings in Stantonbury and Saturday mornings in Great Linford.

Pupils will learn reels, jigs and hornpipes, as well as traditional set dances and will be encouraged to take part in competitions and feiseanna.
