ダンス・アイルランド Dance Ireland

Dance Ireland is a not-for-profit organization providing professional and comprehensive supports and services for dance artists in Ireland. Its predecessor, the Association of Professional Dancers in Ireland Ltd (APDI) was founded in 1989, and became an NPO in 1992. In addition to providing a wide range of dance-related programs, APDI began organizing the DanceFest festival in the 1990s. Dance Ireland runs Ireland’s only dance-specific studio facility, the DanceHouse, which was conceived in 1997 as a plan by the City of Dublin to create a dance center and opened in 2006.
