About This Venue
Milwaukee Irish Dance Studio in Shorewood offers Irish dance instruction for all ages and abilities, from youth through adult classes, with professional teachers and multiple performance opportunities.
Founded in 2019 by owner Elyse Transon, a professional Irish dancer who has performed across the United States and internationally, the studio grew out of the Milwaukee Irish Dance Company (MIDC), an inclusive adult performance group Transon created in 2014. The studio features a team of certified instructors offering youth classes, adult programs, private lessons, and special workshops in a welcoming environment designed to make Irish dance accessible to the community.
Beyond traditional classes, Milwaukee Irish Dance Studio creates unique experiences like Jigs & Swigs, a social Irish dance fitness experience held at local breweries, and offers studio rental space for other dancers and performers. Whether you're looking to start Irish dancing for the first time or advance your skills competitively, the studio combines professional instruction with a vibrant community atmosphere rooted in Milwaukee's Irish heritage.
