CLRG - An Coimisiun Le Rinci Gaeleacha

An Coimusiun Le Rinci Gaelacha (the Commission) is the largest international Irish Dance organisation, with branches all around the world, including the Australian Irish Dance Association (AIDA) here in Australia. The Commission sets the standards for Irish dance throughout all its branches through its official syllabus. A dancers progress against the syllabus is monitored by undertaking Grade Examinations.

AIDA - Australian Irish Dance Association

Through the President of AIDA, the Commission has given its full endorsement and support for Keltikka to teach classes in the Northern Territory under the syllabus, which we have now commenced as of Term 1, 2008. This exciting new development for the Northern Territory will see classes officially being taught according to international standards for the first time. By teaching our classes according to the official teaching syllabus laid down by An Coimisiun Le Rinci Gaelacha (CLRG) we are continuing to uphold the teaching and traditions of Irish Dance schools right around the world.

Syllabus, workshops and championships

Teaching from the syllabus provides our students clear goals for the development of their dancing, ensures that they continue to progress at a consistent rate and that what they are learning is on par with fellow dancers both interstate and internationally. Regular workshop opportunities with visiting Commission registered teachers from interstate and overseas as well as with international performers from Irish dance shows like Riverdance ensures that our dancers receive the very best opportunities to further their dancing. Our most recent workshop was with David Moore, ex lead of Riverdance, Magic of the Dance and currently touring with Rhythms of Ireland. In order to keep abreast of the latest trends and techniques, our teachers are dedicated to improving themselves at every opportunity. Thus far they have attended the North American National Championships (San Diego, USA, 2006), the Australian National Championships (Perth, WA, 2007) and now the World Championships (Belfast, Ireland, 2008). These incredible opportunities to see the worlds best Irish Dancers in action have been invaluable.
