Thanks for visiting our website.

We’re a group of Irish dancers who practise, exercise and socialise together. SBIDA is dedicated to promoting a love of Irish dancing in a friendly atmosphere and communal spirit.

Our motto is Bringing Back the Céilí and that’s what we’re all about – we run our own SBIDA céilís three or four times a year, as well as doing corporate and charity céilís. We also provide Irish dancers for corporate events and shows.

SBIDA has raised almost £10,000 for charities since we started in 2016 including Action Cancer, Barretstown, Inspire, Anthony Nolan, NI Hospice and the NI Children’s Hospice.

You can find some Frequently Asked Questions about our class here, and a signup form for our waiting list here!

We love to see new faces. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never danced a day in your life before, or you’re still competing at feiseanna every weekend. We’ve had dancers from every walk of life in Northern Ireland and from around the world, and that’s how we like it.
