Absolutely loved this experience. I booked it for a Hen Do and we had so much fun. Lovely atmosphere, great environment, the perfect activity to do for a group of any size. If you're heading to Dublin, it is always going to be busy in pubs and bars around Temple Bar but with this activity you are guaranteed a table and a sit down. The whole experience is for 2 hours but you're not dancing the entire time, so anyone with mobility problems or people scared to be on their feet for a long period of time would be fine doing this. There was a mix of entertainment: authentic, acoustic Irish music, professional Irish Dancers and OF COURSE your own time to learn some Irish Dancing in groups as well. A great activity no matter what size the group is AND the payment is taken as a per person so it doesn't matter if your group size decreases after booking because they amend it to whoever turns up.

I brought a group of university students to the Irish Dance Party and they had a blast. We all enjoyed just listening to the live music and were mesmerized by the incredible dancing of the performers. The instructions went very quickly, but the students were able to fake it until they made it, and by the end they felt pretty confident. It was their favorite experience of our four days in Dublin.

So much fun! Went as part of a hen do. The music was so good and the dancers were incredible! The group dances they taught us were so much fun, we were just laughing and smiling the whole time. The drinks were really good as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Dublin!

All in all, we had a fun two hour experience!
Gary did an amazing job, keeping the crowd entertained with little jokes and songs he played with his guitar. Very authentic and enjoyable.
The dancers showed all the three dances and they were fun to learn.
However, there could have been a bit more dancing and definitely more room on the dance floor! It was hard to fully enjoy the dancing when half your mind was trained on not stepping on other feet by accident because it was so crowded.
Furthermore, I would have liked if the dancers would have been more concentrated at teaching the dances than doing jokes between themselves and dancing around when another was explaining.
(Also, the bar is quite expensive and we were told that it's not allowed to drink our own drinks we brought.)
When we were actually dancing, it was fun but there is room for improvement.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review us. We are glad you enjoyed the event. We are sorry you felt that there was not enough space. We are extremely careful that the group dances are done in such a way that there is enough space for everyone. Unfortunately the lines were don't incorrectly for the last dance. We have since retified this. With regard to bringing your own drinks, it is sticktly prohibited to bring your own drinks to Merchants Arch Bar bar just as it prohibited to bring your own drinks to any other bar.

We attended for a hen party and had a great time. The dancers were great and very talented but they could have preformed for longer. Learning the dances was so much fun but it was impossible to try and do them as there were far to many people on the dance floor at a time. We actually choose to sit out the last dance and just watch as it was far too busy and very hot with no air conditioning. The first two dances were spilt into two groups to learn them which was busy enough but the last dance had everyone there learning at once.

The Irish Dance Party was fun. The music was good, especially the traditional trad music played on the fiddle! The dancers were also clearly very talented (but only danced for maybe six minutes in total).
Now the bad: there were far, far too many people booked for this event. The sheer mass of people there really detracted from the fun and enjoyment. There must have been at least 60 people trying to cram onto a dance floor in two groups of 30! In fact, there were so many people there we did not even get the three dances as promised by the website. That was very disappointing. This event could be outstanding with a capped attendance, but, unfortunately, was average at best.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review us. We are delighted you enjoyed our live music and our amazing dancers.
I am sorry to hear you felt the dances were too short. We are currently busy rehearsing exciting new Dance routines and we look forward to performing them very soon!
I looked back over the videos of the day and I saw that the dances were not being taught in too circles like they should have been. There were too many people in one for me with the result the dance sets were cluttered. I have address this issue with the dancers in question.

Not a bad experience, but unfortunately we had to leave early:(. We were sat in a corner for the short performance part, which was a bummer. I’m sure it was because we were the only party of 2 there. This particular event seems best suited for bachelorette parties (“hen parties). The Irish dancers sat upstairs doing their thing until they were called down to perform. We were there for 45 minutes and they danced once then they called folks out on the floor to learn how to dance. I expected more performing from them. Bummer. If you’d like more of a performance, this is not the function for you. It wasn't bad - the singer (Daniel?) was pretty good but again, I wanted more dancing.

This was a really fun and entertaining few hours during our visit to Dublin. The venue itself was easy to locate, clean and well appointed with nice memorabilia and a good range of beverages. The live music was from two very talented individuals on the guitar and fiddle and then the dancing and instruction was great fun with good loud instructions and demonstrations and then let loose ourselves to recreate.

This was such a fun, relaxed way to enjoy some Irish music and dancing. We brought our young kids, 2 and 4, and they had a BLAST. A special shout out to one of the dancers, Rachel, who went above and beyond to make sure my 4 year old daughter had a wonderful time. Rachel held my daughter’s hand while she was dancing and guided her through the moves. The dancers were great, the music was great, the venue was great. I cannot recommend this enough!!

As a surprise celebration for my hen party, I was overjoyed to find that we were watching Irish Dancing, learning the steps and learning about the history of the music. The ten of us were beaming and full of adrenaline after the two hours of non-stop hilarities. The atmosphere was perfect, the energy was sharp. I couldn't fault the experience. Thank you so much!
