About Us
In 2020, after 19 years under the banner of Burdekin Celtic Dancers and the retirement of Cheryl Medley, the Townsville studio continued under a new name. As we are BCD at heart we felt we needed to continue the BCD name which is where Bella Celtic Dance has originated from. Our love of Highland and Irish dancing will continue through our new studio along with new and exciting adventures.
At Bella Celtic Dance we teach our students the traditional and modern forms of Highland and Irish dancing. We enjoy exploring the more traditional forms of dance through the technical books produced by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG) for Irish Dance, and the Royal Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing (RSOBHD) and our highland examining body National Dancing Association of Australian Incorporated (NDAAI). Our students learn these traditions through competitions and examinations, learning the history of the dance forms, basic and more advanced movements and can train towards becoming teachers and adjudicators themselves.
Along with the traditional side of our dance forms, we love exploring the more modern side of dance. In recent years along with lockdowns and the online world, our students and teachers have enjoyed learning the more modern side of their dance forms. We perform for our local community along with our online community as now more than ever we can meet dancers and teachers from all over the world and learn from their experiences.
Bella Celtic Dance offers a range of classes both face to face and online:
