Our Trinity Booster Club is an organization of volunteer parents, a Board of Directors and a small paid staff committed to providing activities and support to enhance the lives of our dancers. We work in conjunction with the Trinity Academy to promote and enhance the unique Irish Dance experience for all Trinity dancers, providing programs and support that are distinctive in the Irish Dance world.

Through the combined effort of the Trinity Booster Club (TBC) staff and our parent volunteers, all Trinity families benefit from enriched programs and services. Whether you call to ask a simple question or need assistance with a costume adjustment, the TBC is always there to provide information and support for all dancers, their families and the academy teachers. The TBC generates the spirit that keeps us together as one family; it is what truly sets the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance apart from other dance schools.

The Trinity Booster Club is a non-profit 501c-3 organization.

Throughout the year, you will see the Trinity Booster Club create and support the following variety of activities and opportunities:

• Class/Teacher support: passports, calendars, progress reports
• Communication resources: website, student directory, weekly e-newsletter
• Costumes and costume resources: used dress sales, dress inspections, dress storage, team dress rentals, Wigs/Makeup
• Local support: Trinity is working closely with our class reps and location council chairs to increase the amount of local support for our parents including parent mentors, location specific bulletin boards, local community outreach
• Fundraisers: Trinity provides opportunities for parents to fundraise their expenses. Any Trinity family can utilize our fundraisers to reimburse the cost of their costumes, wigs, fees for competition, travel expenses etc. Additionally, we provide fundraisers for teams, international travel and are working to establish a scholarship fund for Trinity students.
• School-wide events: Winter Weekend, Parades, Irish Fest, Field Museum show, Spring Performances
• Competitions: Trinity runs 3 area Feisianna, and coordinates Trinity’s participation (registration process, travel, teacher support, costumes) and support of the dancers (dress rehearsals) in other competitions such as Oireachtas, Nationals, Worlds, All Irelands, etc.
• Workshops: provided several times a year including with Trinity’s lead teachers, and specialists from Ireland

To provide all of these resources, all families pay a set amount at the beginning of the year to support all of the upfront costs associated with these events and fundraisers. The amount includes incremental increases as your oldest dancer(s) progresses through the Trinity dance programs since our older dancers utilize more of the TBC resources and participate in more of the TBC events, workshops and fundraisers.

We only charge this expense for one child per family at the beginning of the school year. This money is an investment in all the activities your dancer will participate in throughout the year and can be fundraised back for reimbursement at the end of the year.
