Louise Connolly

ADCRG, TCRG — Owner & Principal Instructor

Louise started Irish dance at the age of 8 with Scoil Rince Oirialla in Dundalk, Ireland. In the following years she claimed the title of World Champion two years in a row, along with Ulster, All Ireland, All Scotland, and British National Champion.

After reaching the pinnacle of her competitive career, Louise joined the world renowned Irish Dance show — Michael Flatley's 'Lord of the Dance'. Within her first year she was given the lead female role of 'Saoirse' and spent 6 years touring the world before founding Connolly Irish Dance in North America.

Louise holds her TCRG (registered teacher) and ADCRG (registered adjudicator) certifications from An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha (The Irish Dancing Commission) — the governing body for Irish dance based in Dublin, Ireland. This means she's qualified to both teach and judge at the highest international level.
