Irish Dance Pro Limited started in 2014, when founder, Shane McAvinchey, a former Riverdance star and Irish dancing teacher / choreographer, was teaching a girl how to use heavy shoes. He told her 'Practice! Practice! Practice!' but she said she was not allowed practice at home because of the expensive wooden floors and fear of scratching them and disturbing the neighbours. It reminded him of his own childhood and how his family would scream at him 'Will you stop dancing!' So he had an idea... Imagine all his students had a protective, sound proofing, mobile dance mat of their own in unique colours & designs. A concept now brought to life by Irish Dance Pro.
"I am thrilled to finally share my Irish dance mats with you! My team and I are constantly testing, updating and developing materials and designs to create the ultimate practice equipment for you. Our non-slip surface combines cutting edge sprung-effect technology that ensures full stability, durability and performance helping you reduce noise, reduce injury and eliminate floor damage during your daily practice routine. We hope you love the new Vinci collection as much as we do." - Shane McAvinchey, Owner Irish Dance Pro
