Hi Hannah. Here is a link I found on a search engine, since I am not familiar with dance schools in Dublin. Several do show in a google search. Perhaps you could start with this one and see what they have.

Check the others that show in google, and I'm sure you'll find a class.

Let me know what you end up choosing - all the best, Dianne
