McTeggart Irish Dancers - Fort Collins, Colorado

We have Irish dance experience at this studio, McTeggart, for just over a year and another studio in New Mexico for two years. It is a comparison of the two that primarily informs our opinions of McTs. The price for classes is very affordable, they offer a couple of schedule options, and the instruction is sufficient. Unfortunately, the communication is lacking and there is no feeling of community or sense of rapport. Our former studio had a lovely program where the dancers of all levels knew each other and the younger dancers learned from the older ones. The families knew each other too and we all knew the teacher well. It was fun for dancers of ALL levels to perform together at festivals and fairs--friendships were formed that made the program more than dancing. It really felt like a dance family. We had no such experience here.

The wonderful teacher that other reviews speak of is no longer teaching here, but I got that news from my kid not because any adults let us know what was happening. I emailed the director to let her know my dancer wouldn't be re-enrolling but I never received a reply. I was removed from the email list so I know she got the information. My dancer apparently won't be missed.

Having moved from a large city with a large Irish Dance community when my daughter was young, my daughter was nervous to start over but she was immediately welcomed into The McTeggart community and McTeggart quickly became her new dance home! The lead teacher, Anne provides many dance and performance opportunities for all levels from the very beginners to advanced. The older dancers are phenomenal mentors to the younger dancers. While St Patrick’s week remains a highlight for dancers, there are year round local performances, competitions and workshops which provide a unique art and cardio rich sport for children to participate in. There is something very special about being part of the oldest Irish dance school in Colorado, and Anne Hall and all of the other teachers provide outstanding and caring instruction. The friendships and time spent bonding are the strongest friendships. So thankful that my child is a McTeggart Irish dancer!

As a long-time McTeggart mom and current adult dancer, I am proud to be a part of a school and community that shows true integrity and encourages dancers at every level. My daughter reached the highest level of competition, claiming several titles and qualifications, thanks to the supportive environment and dedicated world-class teaching. But aside from the competitions, it was and is a pleasure to be a part of a community that demonstrates and honors the real excellence of its history and the tradition of Irish Dance in every feis, local performance and practice. Irish dance can be whatever you want it to be, a hobby, a passion, an entire life and the McTeggart school continues to support and inspire each unique dancer at every step. Any parent would be proud to have their child be a part of this tradition.

We really love McTeggart’s! My youngest daughter started last year and now her sister decided she wants to do it too! It’s great exercise and very accommodating to the new beginner dancers just starting out. The classes are very reasonably priced and the teachers are so nice.

I have been the absolute luckiest to be able to call the McTeggart dance studios in Colorado my second home for 13 years now. The teachers are wonderful, encouraging, uplifting, and the classes are so fun and challenging. The McTeggart team is close knit and so loving. I feel so incredible to be able to be a part of this family.

This was one of the worst experiences we have had with any type of youth classes. The communication was horrible (no return emails, no return phone calls, etc) and I mean literally horrible. I tried to get them to respond to say can you help, but absolutely no response. Even today, my daughter as a teenager talks about how toxic that environment was for her because she didn’t fit their mold. I was just trying to get my daughter involved in something that looked fun and challenging. Instead I’m pretty sure we traumatized her with the school, the teacher was so completely shaming. My daughter was 9 for heaven’s sake. I will have to say that McTeggart was not my best parenting moment.

This place is such a gem! I'm grateful that such an amazing Irish dance school exists in Fort Collins.
