The Inis Acla School of Irish Dance was started in Memphis, TN in 1993 to promote the beautiful art form of Irish Dance in the Mid South. 

Teachers: Mary McGinty-Sweeney, A.D.C.R.G. and Kathleen McGinty, A.D.C.R.G.

Irish By Choice

Irish blood lines are not required. Anyone can be an Irish Dancer - there are many dancers that are "Irish by choice". All it takes is interest in the dancing and the desire to always dance to the best of one's ability.

Dance is Fun, Friendly, Family Oriented

Dancers of all ages mix in classes based on level of expertise, allowing younger children to model older dancers and letting the older dancers act like young kids. Classes are structured, yet social, and allow many dancers to develop a circle of friends removed from school and neighborhood settings.

Family involvement, as in any extracurricular activity, is important. You will be able to watch your child become more proficient in his/her dance steps as he/she practices daily at home, not to mention the weekly/biweekly drives to class, which are great for conversation.  These are just a few ways in which Inis Acla has geared itself towards family participation and enjoyment.
