Why Irish Dance?
The answer is simple. Its rich history and tradition embody a time when family and community were the core values that bound us together. Irish dancing is about music, choreography and story-telling. Our students are athletes, friends, competitors, scholars, and fierce individuals — but most importantly, they are a community of dancers committed to sharing their art.

Clann RĂoga Irish Dance Academy offers Irish dance classes for children and adults in Warrenton, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Front Royal and Ashburn in Virginia as well as lessons in Nashville, TN.
In Irish, Clann means family and RĂoga means regal. Individually, they are strong words; combined, they represent the heart of our mission:
"Built on Loyalty, Defined by Excellence."
This name was chosen to reflect the deep kinship and steadfast friendship shared by our teaching staff. We operate in total synergy, believing that our combined expertise is far greater than the sum of our individual parts. We want our dancers to carry a "Royal" confidence onto the stage, knowing they have a "Family" backing them from the wings.
This change is more than just a new logo; it is a liaison of talent and a commitment to a "Regal Standard" of integrity and mutual respect. We are so excited to move forward as one "Clann.” … See MoreSee Less
