About Celtic Academy of Irish Dance

Celtic Academy of Irish Dance in Dayton, Ohio, offers a premier experience in the vibrant tradition of Irish dance for all ages, starting from 4 years old. Founded by Mary Laffey Beemsterboer, TCRG, who boasts competitive experience at the World Championships, the academy has blossomed under her passionate guidance and expertise. Our comprehensive curriculum caters to every dancer's aspirations, from introductory "Summer Sampler" sessions and beginner classes for youth and adults, to advanced levels including Prizewinner, Prelim, and Championship. We also offer specialized "Drill" and "Set" classes. Beyond technique, Celtic Academy fosters a supportive family atmosphere and a strong community, encouraging discipline and a deep appreciation for Irish culture. Our highly qualified teaching staff includes Anna Bumiller, TCRG, who holds a Master of Arts in Irish Dance Studies, and accomplished assistant teachers such as Emily Sollinger, Annemarie Cunningham, Megan Hammond, Emma Halpin, Lauren Brenneman Stoddard, and Liz Willis. While specializing in Irish Step dance, we incorporate foundational ballet training, reflecting connections with the Dayton Ballet. Celtic Academy dancers have achieved significant recognition, earning numerous championship titles at Mid-America Regional, North American, and World Irish Dancing Championships. Beyond competition, our academy is a celebrated performer, gracing stages with renowned bands like Gaelic Storm and The Elders, and participating in key community events including the United Irish of Dayton Celtic Festival and the Ohio Renaissance Festival, enriching Dayton's cultural landscape, especially around St. Patrick's Day.
