Both independent members and the students of AAIDT instructors enjoy many benefits! In fact, AAIDT offers far more benefits of membership than any other Irish dance organization.
Members have access to our traditional Feiseanna (competitions) held throughout the USA and abroad. Non-competitive Grade Exams help you set goals and achieve them. Distance Evaluation offers long-distance mentoring for dancers who do not have access to an in-person instructor. Virtual Feis™ allows independent dancers and classes to participate in pre-recorded AAIDT feisanna without the financial burden of travel. This is an excellent way to pre-qualify for later in-person Feisanna. AAIDT also offers periodic Master Workshops for members. All Members receive Discounts on Dance Shoes and accessories via the AAIDT Pro-Shop.
AAIDT offers a truly open community of mutual support. Performing Groups have access to optional group-liability insurance, which is often a prerequisite for obtaining performance contracts and theater facilities.
Individual Dancer membership is $65.00 per year. Club/Performing Group membership is $100.00 per year.
To register, please fill out our Membership Application below. (If your instructor is already a member of AAIDT, you do not need to register as an Individual Dancer to receive many of these benefits. However, if you would like access to Distance Evaluation or insurance for performances outside of your school, we encourage you to apply for membership.)
Once you submit your application, you will be taken to our Thank You! page. Instructions for online payment are on that page. Otherwise, you may request a mailing address or check payment. Thank you!
