About Us Hibernia. To the ancient Romans, Hibernia was Ireland, the land of winter, an unconquerable land and people. The Hibernia School of Irish Dance opened in 2000 and operates under the direction of Erin Reid TCRG, certified step dance and ceili dance instructor by the Commission of Irish Dance in Dublin, Ireland: An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha. The Hibernia School of Irish Dance offers an education, ranging from traditional to modern, in competitive solo and team Irish Dancing. We offer a friendly and dynamic learning environment for all students. Classes for the less competitive dancer, seeking exercise or Irish cultural exploration are also a part of the Hibernia School curriculum. Proper technique and practice are emphasized for serious and casual students alike. It is the mission of the Hibernia School of Irish Dance to provide fun and challenging Irish dance training. Friendships, fond memories, discipline and teamwork are our goals. Competition is encouraged for the benefit of the training process: to teach a dancer to set personal goals and to do his or her best. Our students are trained to participate in the categorical levels of Irish dance, marking their individual and team progress and achievements. When Hibernia students compete, they are taught to win and lose with grace, and to learn from every stage of the journey; a journey that may lead to a neighboring town or to the world stage. The Hibernia School of Irish Dance is the only dance studio in DFW dedicated to Irish dancing, with a 1500sf sprung floor, covered in Harlequin© non-slip surface also used by Riverdance. During the spring months, the Hibernia School of Irish Dance partnered with Iverin, Inc. (a 501c3 non- profit organization for the promotion of Irish arts) operates the Hibernia Irish Dance Company to present fun and exciting Irish dance performances for your special event.
