McNulty Irish Dancers
About
About Us From humble beginnings in Naperville Illinois, the McNulty School of Irish Dance has grown into one of the largest, most active dance schools in the Midwest. We offer Irish dance lessons throughout Chicago and suburban areas with additional locations in Bloomington, Illinois, Lake Geneva Wisconsin and Dubuque Iowa.
Our program is designed to challenge each dancer to achieve his or her personal best - both on and off the dance floor. Students develop concentration skills, coordination, and self-confidence that serve them well in all facets of life. Whether you have ambitions to compete in Irish dance, perform publicly, or simply to dance for the fun of it, we will help you reach your goals.
For the Irish-American family, dance is a great way to stay connected with one's heritage. Yet, Irish dance offers tremendous opportunities to all students, regardless of cultural or ethnic background.
Philosophy
We believe Irish Dance is an art form to be cherished, passed on to our children, and shared with the world. We strive to support & encourage our dancers by providing praise, discipline and the opportunity to perform.
History & Credentials The McNulty School of Irish Dance was founded by Barbara McNulty T.C.R.G. in 1971 in Naperville, Illinois. Since then, enrollment has grown throughout the Midwest. The School currently offers classes in over 1 locations in Northern and Central Illinois as well as Iowa and Wisconsin.
We are recognized by An Coimisiun (the Irish Dance Commission in Dublin Ireland) and the North American and Mid-American Irish Dance Teachers Associations. Because of these accreditations, our students are eligible to compete in sanctioned Irish Dance competitions throughout the world.
Learning With Us The McNulty School offers classes for all ages and experience levels, including teen and adult beginners, and "boys only" classes in many locations. All students have the opportunity to perform and compete. Dancers begin learning in the Irish soft dance shoes, and then progress to heavy shoe dances over time. Students will enjoy learning both solo and team dances.
