Welcome...

Founder Miriam Blanchette, TCRG, opened the Blanchette School of Irish Dance in 1999, and is the only TCRG certified Irish Dance teacher in Northern Nevada.  

The Blanchette School of Irish Dance, LLC provides outstanding training in traditional Irish Dance for all ages. Located in Northern Nevada, classes are offered in Carson City, Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada.

Classes are available for all ages and abilities, from toddler to adult and from beginner to advanced. Students learn traditional and contemporary styles in both soft and hard shoe. New students are always welcome. No dance experience is needed to join our beginner classes.
