What Students Have to Say
"Alanna is a gifted dancer and an amazing teacher. She embraces students of all levels, abilities, and ages in an encouraging and fun environment. By the time class is over, I'm already looking forward to next week! I highly recommend taking her class!"
- Mary (Adult Dancer)
"My daughter loves taking Irish Dance Class with Alanna so much that when her birthday falls on the day she has class, she would rather come to class than go to a dinner of her choice. Side note: she loves food, but apparently, she loves Irish Dance more! ❤️☘️"
- Lovita (Mom)
"As a parent, I really appreciate how Alanna teaches the kids how to set goals and work hard. This isn't just a "fun time" class, it's a real work out with real results, and my daughter loves it. She's so proud of herself and spends the rest of week doing a jig down the sidewalk or through the living room."
- Alicia (Mom)
"What makes Irish Dance fun is I have a fantastic teacher!"
- Zoe (Age 8)
