Testimonials from some of SRT’s happy students
“An inspiration to me and one of my big role models. I simply love the way [she] teaches.” Paul, Dublin
“Mary Beth is terrific at breaking down steps into manageable smaller ones, building up to a complete repertoire. For that reason, the classes are accessible for everyone from beginners to those who learnt a few steps when they were young. Ta na ranganna ar fheabhas.” - Ger, Dublin
“Two years ago, Mary Beth agreed to teach myself and a friend some sean-nós steps for sets. The woman has patience! And she never makes you feel stupid. But beyond this - her range of knowledge, patience, and ability to break down the steps into small, easily learnable bits ... was an incredible learning experience if only for the simple reason that I’d never had that kind of focussed teaching before.” - Bill, Dublin
“Great class, great craic, great teacher. Finally, I’m dancing!” - Seamus, Dublin
