Clann Kelly School of Irish Dance
From their website [1]:
Clann Kelly (meaning Kelly Family in Irish) is an Irish dancing school established in 2016 and is registered with An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha, The Irish Dancing Commission, in Dublin, Ireland. We teach both boys and girls—ages 5 to adult—the steps, rhythms and movements of Irish dancing. This dance form is an excellent way for children and adults both to stay active and strong. From our smallest beginners to our champions, Clann Kelly dancers strive for excellence both on stage and in the classroom. Though competition is not a requirement for attendance, Clann Kelly encourages dancers to compete at the appropriate level with our teachers' guidance. Clann Kelly seeks to present an atmosphere for learning Irish dancing that is positive, healthy and fosters friendships between all our dancers. Our school’s name was chosen because we truly believe that when you enter Clann Kelly, you’re not just gaining a dance school—you’re gaining an extended family. “Nothing Without Labour” is the motto of County Down, where Anna’s mother’s side of the family is from, as well as the unofficial school motto. We know that each medal or trophy earned at a competition is a reflection of the hard work our students put in during their class and practice time. By making the most of every lesson, our classes not only teach traditional Irish dancing, but also the value of healthy work ethic, determination, and discipline. In the competitive arena, Clann Kelly dancers are expected to display the highest degree of good sportsmanship—humble in victory, and gracious in defeat.
