FREE Irish Dance Coloring Pages

Irish Dance Coloring and Design Book

 As an Irish Dancer there is nothing I used to love more than coloring Solo Dress templates to design my perfect dress. My favorite colors were always blue an orange with flowers and the hint of knot work, a vest and of course, lots and lots of rhinestones. When I was little, my dream came true and my parents actually let me have my dream dress created! It had all started with my countless hours of Solo Dress coloring. I thought I would share here some of the best free Irish Dance coloring pages; of course for the most part focused on the dresses and dress templates.

A favorite Feis activity of mine was always participating in Solo Dress coloring competitions.  It is such a great activity idea for dance schools, dance camps and of course competitions.  I never won any of the coloring competitions but it was always a fun experience and I always participated and made sure to stick around for results.  

I think the best free coloring/dress creation resource that even at 22 I will be using is the Doire printable coloring set and the app!  There is a coloring app which is just too cool!!!  I will be having a post on that in the future no doubt.  It is perfect for girls and boys!  Doire provides a waistcoat template to design for the guys who I feel usually are pretty excluded from the Irish Dance coloring scene.  The resources they provide for girls though... there is a printable doll that has a blank dress, wig options, tiara options and hard shoe and soft shoe options!  I have included a few other very detailed Solo Dress already designed and ready for coloring as well.  See below for the links to these fabulous resources.  I hope you enjoy!

A Fun and Festive Irish Dance Halloween


Looking for ways to add more Irish Dance into your life?  Halloween is right around the corner and offers the perfect opportunity with this cute Irish Dance Halloween product line.  Celebrate with posters, gift bags, Halloween greeting cards, party supplies, t-shirts and other adorable items.  Dancers with a variety of hair and solo dress colors are featured!

As a young dancer I LOVED when my dance teachers would decorate the dance studio for the holidays.  For Halloween there were festive window clings on the mirrors, some cobwebs in the corners and light strands of purple or orange.  An extra special time was always a Halloween Feis with some costumes thrown in!  This great gift collection already has Irish Dance and Halloween combined, with no extra effort necessary.

Irish Dance Bags ~ Perfect for dance class!

Personalized Irish Dance Blond Girl Soft Shoe Drawstring Bag

 As I get ready to rejoin an Irish dancing school, in addition to physical preparations I have been getting my must have dance class gear together.  Soft shoes, hard shoes, poodle socks, etc.  One thing I always enjoyed having as a younger dancer (I started lessons at the age of four and am now twenty-two) was a custom Irish dance themed bag to carry my shoes and notebook for dance class.  My first was this Reel Princesses tote bag...


I used it for several years and eventually exchanged it for a drawstring bag.  I do prefer drawstring bags for a few reasons.  They are the perfect size for Irish dance gear as well as for stashing in a cubby at dance class, they offer security from dropping your things which is not provided by an open tote bag and I find them much more convenient to carry.  When I select a new bag for Irish dance class it will definitely be a drawstring bag.  Take a look below to see some of my favorite Irish Dance bags, some are designed by me!
