Looking for a combination school of all of the above. We would like to incorporate both solos and teams if he does well. Irish Fest/St. Patrick's Day festivities would be great.

Bonus if they do adult classes so mom can join in the fun.

I guess we are specifically looking for a positive environment with minimal bullying and cliques (for both kids and parents).

[> [> [> The only schools I'm aware with Adult classes are Glencastle and Milwaukee Academy. There are no teams at Milwaukee Academy. -- hth, 14:17:59 06/17/24 Mon (NoHost/206.252.36.24)

All the schools perform at Irish Fest and do St. Patrick's Day shows. Trinity is probably the most performance heavy.

Schools that I see fielding teams are Cashel, Trinity, Kinsella, Glencastle and McNamara McCarthy.

All the schools obviously have solos, but my observations and only my opinion are that the strongest solo schools are Bellator, Beglan, Kinsella and McNamara McCarthy.

Beglan and Kinsella both have children who dance with the school currently. Not being part of either of those schools I do not know if that is a positive or negative in the dynamics, but it is something I would want to be aware of and consider if I was looking for a school.
 
The best thing you can do is observe classes at these schools and observe how the parents and kids interact at feisianna and how they interact with their teachers there. There is a right school for every dancer and family, but only you can know which is going to be a good fit for your family. Also, if you are moving here and coming from another school that you are happy with, I suggest actually asking your teachers for a recommendation of what they think from what they know of you, your dancer, and the school.
