Belisama Irish Dance & Rhythm Sol

At Belisama Irish Dance & Rhythm Sol: Dance Classes and Camps, we believe dance is more than movement, it's a powerful tool to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Since 2006, we've been dedicated to creating a vibrant space where dancers of all ages can grow through high-quality instruction, creative expression, and a strong sense of community. We offer dance classes for all ages and abilities. We also offer classes with our many community partners.

To help address the childcare gap in Santa Fe, Our Rhythm Sol Camp Classroom offers flexible, creative care options—including aftercare, full-day care on Fridays and school closures, and our popular Date Night program, for youngsters and pre-teen/teens. It's a fun, enriching environment where kids are supported while caregivers get the time they need.
