All Dance Classes are held in the Mullingar Arts Centre on a weekly basis. Classes are an hour long. 'Groovy Tots' is a half an hour. All classes can be booked through the Mullingar Arts Centre 0449347777. Once a year, the senior students get an opportunity to travel to a professional show. The last few years the students have travelled to the board Gais to see musicals such as 'Wicked' and 'Big'. Tutors Siobhan Moore and Sarah Ann Meehan, take pride in being able to provide this wonderful opportunity for the students. Dionysus have also entered students and groups into competitions. They have had the opportunity to perform in the Mullingar Panto and have been invited to dance at fashion shows and at the openings of several stores. They annually take part in the St Patrick's Day parade and occasionally have visiting guest tutors. Several of the students from Dionysus School of Dance have been accepted into Dance College / University and have gone on to study dance as third level education. The Dance schools motto is a famous quote by Albert Einstein. A man who knows...

'We dance for laughter
We dance for tears
We dance for madness
We dance for fears
We dance for hopes
We dance for screams
We are the dancers
We create the dreams'
