To be best prepared for class, please come with the following:

• Wearing comfortable athletic wear (i.e. tshirt/tank-top with shorts/skirt/leggings, etc.)
• Hair pushed up/away from face 
• Water bottle (optional snack)
• Sneakers
• Ankle-length socks (for girls: poodle socks are preferred | for boys: ankle-height black socks preferred)

• Most beginner Irish dancers wear ghillies or reel shoes, otherwise known as ‘soft shoes.’ Purchasing a pair of ghillies is not required, but encouraged for the best dancing experience. Other options for shoes are black ballet slippers (for girls), or black jazz shoes (for boys). 

If you have any questions regarding class preparation, please reach out to Mumford Academy via phone or email. ​
