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.

Very proud of Garet winning the inaugural Tim O’Hare Memorial competition u15. A special win because Tim was Kristin’s teacher. Tim used to comment about Garet “that kid DANCES everywhere he goes. He doesn’t walk-he can’t stop dancing.”
Tim’s legacy lives on through his students and their students. Thank you Detroit feis and @idtamaofficial for honoring Tim and creating this competion. Thank you Allison Duvall for your beautiful words about Tim.
