Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Even though we can't be out and about right now dancing to help you celebrate this year, we still wanted to send you some Irish Dance to help get you in the Irish mood! Also, stay tuned for some St. Patrick's in the Summer fun in a couple of months!
Performances Resume in Woodland Park!
In the true spirit of the indomitable Irish, we braved the 20 degree weather and impending storm to dance at The Moose is Loose Kickoff event on Saturday, February 13th, 2021. We had probably the best weather of the next 5 days as we entertained those waiting in line for their official Moose swag bags. This is our first live performance in over a year due to the Covid pandemic, and we were soooo excited to dance in front of an audience again!
A HUGE Thank You to Park State Bank & Trust for their 2021 Sponsorship of our school!

Hand sanitizing as you enter and exit the studio. Email mountaineire@yahoo.com to inquire about our plan or to register for classes.

Mountain Eire Gets New Home! 2-1-2020
In May, we finally found our (hopefully) long-term home! Our new studio is in the building to the right of City Market in the Gold Hill South Plaza. Our entrance is located in the back, next door to Reason Chiropractic. It's been a slow process of moving things in, building the dance floor, and setting up/decorating the space. However, it's all starting to come together! And now, thanks to Judd's Glass of Woodland Park, we officially have all of our mirrors up! It's been a long year without mirrors, and the dancers are LOVING being able to see themselves again and target their form! Come check out our new digs!
Mountain Eire helps open for the Colorado Springs Philharmonic concert July 5th, 2015 and 2016, AND we made the front page of the newspaper!!
June 17, 2014 Mountain Eire Sets New World Record!
To celebrate our one-year anniversary, we continued our budding tradition of having an adventurous spirit. 21 of our dancers, ages ranging from 8 to 61, drove to the summit of Pikes Peak, 14,110 feet in elevation, and set a new world record for "HIGHEST ALTITUDE TRADITIONAL IRISH JIG."
We had so much fun, and KRDO News came out and filmed us! The extreme altitude was not as hard on us as we had predicted, and everyone did a great job!
A HUGE thanks goes out to our fabulous road crew, made up of parents and family members, who hauled boards, car-pooled all of our dancers, set up our stage area, ran the music, video-taped and took photos, and packed up all of our gear afterward! We couldn't do it without you all!
You can see the video of our dance at the summit on www.recordsetters.com, or look for the link on our facebook page. See our photo album for more pictures from this awesome event!
