Some testimonials from our dancers.


​"Derrie is a kind warm hearted, fun loving and playful teacher.  She teaches wonderful spiritual, therapeutic and fun dances to amazing music from all over the world.  I have been dancing with her for many years and plan to dance for many more to come."  Pat

"Derrie is a kind, wise and funny teacher who creates a welcoming and reassuring space for dancing, connection and healing. Circle Dance Ireland is an incredible, magical place, I think nearly anyone who has been there has felt the better for it and left feeling grateful to have experienced its special healing energy and the kind warmth of its hosts, Derrie and Michael." Louise

"I always found Derrie and the group so warm and welcoming. The dances feel like a lovely, gentle space to soften, ground and find my centre again." Sinead

"I have done circle dancing with Derrie several times at her beautiful home as well as in some other places. I found it comforting to be guided by Derrie and felt in good hands. She is self assured and fun and seems totally at ease in herself with the dances which gives me the assurance that nothing can go wrong and that it is more about ease. Flow and well-being and connection within ourselves and the circle than about doing it right thus the essence of dancing in a circle and honouring the circle is allowed to come forth. I have loved every moment of it while I did it. Not too often but no less beautiful every time."  Bettina

"Circle dance for me is another form of spiritual practice for everyday living in a fun and  relaxed atmosphere." Joan

"Circle Dance. Energy flows in a vibrating circle so when I participate and share in the circle dance with others, not only do I give energy but I receive it in equal measure, thus not only energising myself but others as well by raising our vibrations. The movement of the dance is like the flow of love, when I give, I receive a hundred fold."  J.
