Our Mission:

The mission of Graham Irish Dance Studios is to manage, entertain and promote Irish Dance in the central Ohio area, at all levels of dance.  The Graham Irish Dance Studios are becoming more involved in the communities as they provide entertainment for many charity events.  While performing at such events we think it’s important for the children to have a sense of understanding of what the event stands for and to share our compassion for others as well.

 

Get to know our teacher:


Deanna’s family is from Naas, Co. Kildare Ireland . Her father started Deanna Irish Dancing at the age of 8 in Columbus with Ann Richens. She has traveled extensively performing and competing throughout North America . She has also competed internationally for 11 years winning numerous awards and reaching a Championship level. She qualified to go to the World Irish Dance Competition in Ireland three times. She has been teaching solo and Ceili dance for 12 years in Columbus , Dublin , Westerville , Circleville, and Chillicothe . While she is teaching she is also studying to sit her T.C.R.G. with the Irish Dance Commission of Ireland to teach competitive Irish Dance.

Deanna teaches: Wee Folk (toddlers), Beginner, Intermediate I, Intermediate II, Advance Beginner, Novice and Adult classes.  More information on our "Take A Class" page.  We are in need of young men as well as young women, so we encourage everyone to come join the Graham Irish Dance Studios.

The Graham School of Irish Dancers performs at various events for entertainment.  We can perform from 15 minutes to an hour.  All of our willing dancers perform, from beginners to adult.  Usually after a performance we do what we call "Pass the Hat" to ask for donations.  If  we are unable to do "Pass the Hat" with the audience we ask for a donation from the host of the event to help support our group.

We are striving to raise money to provide our dancers with the proper attire in hopes to have them in competitions in the near future.  The attire will remain with the Graham Irish Dance Studios to be passed down through the dancers.  So, if you would like to sponsor one dress, keep in mind, your name will forever remain on the dress for others to see as the dress is worn.  We are looking for sponsors for many different things so, if you wish to help, please get in contact with Deanna.
