Greene Academy of Irish Dance

The Greene Academy of Irish Dancing was established in 2005, and is under the direction of Sondra Greene ADCRG The school originally opened in 1993 as the Golden-Greene School until the recent retirement of one of the founding teachers, Maureen Golden ADCRG. Sondra Greene is a fully accredited teacher qualified by the Irish Dancing Commission, Dublin, Ireland. In addition, Sondra has also received certification as an Irish Dance adjudicator. Sondra judges competitions at local, regional, and national levels throughout the United States and Canada.

In 1993 the school began in a small garage with 8 students. It has now grown to over 150 students in two locations. The students of the Greene Academy participate in dancing competitions throughout North America including major championships such as the North American Irish Dance Championships and the World Championships.

The philosophy of the Greene Academy is to impart a love of Irish dancing and culture. Through weekly lessons, dancers are guided towards improvement in skill and technique and challenged to perform in various competitions.

Equally important to the student's enjoyment of dancing, is the establishment of friendships among the dancers, and learning to support each other and work as a team. Team dancing, such as figure dancing, figure choreography and dance drama, are emphasized in addition to solo dancing.

    What a fabulous show!! High energy, great music, great dancing, and the theme of the Olympics very appropriate! This is a great event for both adults and children. I brought a 2 year old and a 14 year old and they were both completely entertained. Can't wait to see what the Greene Academy comes up with next year! Collapse
