Company Description
McGinley Academy dancers are top prize winners at competitions and are recognized at events throughout North America. They enjoy great successes as soloists and team dancers having regional, and international Irish dance champion titles to their credit. Every year dancers from the McGinley Academy qualify for and attend the World Championships in Ireland, the most prestigious competition in Irish Dancing. Our dancers also travel overseas and compete in the All-Irelands, Great Britain’s, European Championships, and All-Scotland’s each year.
The McGinley Academy is one of the few schools within their region that has their own talented instructors choreograph all steps that their dancers perform. The steps and routines are recognized as innovative and original and are created solely by the instructors for the dancers of the McGinley Academy.
Our dancers range in age from pre-school through College, and our Tampa location also offers classes to adults. Competitive dancing is the focus for most of our dancers, however, some enjoy dancing as recreation and exercise.
When not competing, our dancers can be found performing at various cultural festivals, corporate events, weddings and fundraisers. McGinley Academy dancers are renowned for captivating audiences with their fast paced steps and intricate footwork. Their traditional and contemporary dance routines are truly exciting to watch.
