Hi there, and welcome to "Bows and Toes" Music and Dance School!  My name is Deirdre, and I offer kids in the Ojai Valley and surrounding area fiddle lessons and classes in folk and group dancing.  I have played fiddle and danced since I was 4 years old, following the tradition of my Irish grandfather.  For the last 20 years, I have performed with my brothers and sisters around the country with our fiddle/dance band "Celtic Spring".  I LOVE this music and dance more than anything, and it makes me so happy to be able to pass this art form down to other kids (including my own!)

Explore this site to learn more about the classes I offer.  I teach from my heart, and would love to welcome you into our joyful family of dancers and fiddlers!
