Haughey McAuley Academy of Irish Dancing

Welcome

In a relatively short time we have built up the Academy with lots of hard work and dedication from both teachers and dancers. Our dancers are the proof that we have a good school.

World Irish Dance Championships We have lots of potential to build on the Fantastic World Championships and all the World medals that we brought back to Scotland in 2008.

The event truly was memorable and as Teachers, very satisfying. We will strive to keep our Academy at the top and encourage our up and coming dancers to learn from what we have created and achieved in both solo and ceili dancing.

We are also lucky to have a great parent`s committee who help fund raise and allow our dancers to travel in search of success at home and abroad.

The future is of the Academy is in good caring hands and there is no magic formula - just hard work, sweat and lots of laughs along the way to keep our School happy and a pleasure to be a part of.
