About

Mattierin Irish Dance has been established in Edmonton since 1993.

Mattierin is a family-run Irish dance school led by Merv Bell TCRG, Patti Bell, Jessica Bell TCRG and Rebecca Bell TCRG, ADCRG.

For more than 30 years, we have welcomed dancers of different ages, experience levels and goals — from children taking their first Irish dance class to experienced dancers competing at the highest levels.

Mattierin offers structured training in solo and team dancing, along with opportunities to perform throughout the community and compete locally, nationally and internationally. Mattierin dancers have reached the highest levels of competitive Irish dance, winning World and North American Championship titles, while many others have found confidence, friendships and a lifelong connection to Irish dance through the studio.

‍Whatever path a dancer chooses, our goal is to help them develop strong technique, confidence, discipline and a genuine love of Irish dance.

What We Do

Our programs introduce dancers to the foundations of Irish dance and build progressively as their skills and experience grow.

Younger and beginner dancers start with rhythm, posture, coordination, movement and the basic foundations of Irish dance in a supportive environment. As dancers progress, training develops to include increasingly focused technique, strength, flexibility, musicality, turnout and footwork.

Dancers may continue recreationally, perform in the community, participate in teams or pursue competitive goals. At every level, our teaching team works to give dancers the skills, support and opportunities they need to continue growing both as dancers and as people.

“They always celebrate each and every students accomplishments no matter what they are. This is more than a school, it's family!”
