Why Choose Kennelly Irish Dance?

Founded in 1959, the Kennelly School has become a celebrated home for Irish dance, led by Patricia since 1975. Having begun teaching at a young age, she carries forward a rich family legacy with passion and vision.

Under her direction, dancers have earned top honors at major international competitions and performed on renowned stages like the Hollywood Bowl alongside iconic Irish musicians. Patricia, an accomplished button accordion player trained by Joe Cooley, also serves as an adjudicator with the Irish Dancing Commission.

At the Kennelly School, tradition, excellence, and a love of dance come together in a supportive and inspiring environment.
