What families & students say
“Lenihan is not only an Irish Dance School but a family that follows you for life.”
From the reviews
I competitively danced with Lenihan for over 15 years, but I still consider myself a lifelong Lenihan dancer because joining Lenihan doesn’t just create an Irish dancer, it makes you a part of a forever family.
Highly recommend Lenihan School of Irish Dance for a fun and unique activity/sport that is also cultural and artistic! I spent 15 years dancing with Lenihan and have had the greatest experiences competing & performing, all while forming life long friendships :)
Lenihan is THE BEST!!! Dancing with Lenihan for almost two decades has provided me with a great work ethic, a strong connection to my Irish roots, and friendships that will last a lifetime. PK, Meg, and Erin C are incredible teachers who have shaped my life for the better in more ways than one.
Lenihan taught me the art of dedication to self, time management, being part of a team, learning to cope with hardship, how to maintain a balance of sport, school and life, and most of all gave me the best friends I've ever had. Lenihan is not only an Irish Dance School but a family that follows you for life.
Your first ballet class at Lenihan School of Irish Dance
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
