Harney Academy: Keeping The Tradition Alive


	Click for Next Quote... "Irish dance has become so much more than just another activity to belong to for my two girls. They've been dancing at Harney for over seven years, and have developed not only a genuine love for dance, but formed wonderful friendships. Dance has taught them the meaning of hard work, dedication and commitment, and these are values that I feel help them in other areas of their lives. I feel truly blessed that they can be part of such a wonderful dance family, which includes coaches, parents and many fellow dancers ." Jen Schiller Mother of 2 Dancers Click for Next Quote... "I have been dancing with The Harney Academy for seven years. Liam and Sally have helped me achieve many of my successes in Irish dancing and in life. Irish dancing has also given me the skills and discipline I need to achieve any goal I set for myself. I have made so many good friends at the Harney Academy, as well as friends from around the country through the national and international competitions. Irish dance has taught me that hard work and dedication really has its rewards!!" Melissa McCarthy 2nd Place World Champion Click for Next Quote... "I have been dancing with the Harney Academy for many years. During this time Liam and Sally have taught me many things about Irish dance and the Irish culture. I have not only learned the dance steps but also the tradition they come from. I love Irish dancing because of the many friends I have made. We love to dance together whether it is at dance class, in performances, or at competitions. Dancing has given me the opportunity to travel to many different cities in North America and I am now looking forward to competing in the World Championships in Ireland. I have also learned that hard work and discipline have many rewards, not only in trophies and medals, but in self-satisfaction and knowing I have done my best." Katie McCaffrey Champion Dancer Click for Next Quote... "I am so impressed by how Liam and Sally take the time to get to know all of their students, not just as dancers, but as unique children. They spend so much time with their dancers, in and out of class, that they understand not just each student’s individual dance technique but his or her personality as well. With this knowledge and understanding they then amazingly choreograph steps that compliment a particular dancer’s style, and tailor motivational approaches that inspire each dancer to do his or her very best."

I never thought that the world's greatest dance teachers could become the world's greatest parents. I never would have thought an academy of Irish dancers would turn into a family, to comfort and support one another, dry each others tears, create each others laughter and smiles, help each other set and achieve their goals; create a lifetime of fun and great memories….but personally, I'm proud tot say that at the Harney Academy, I've seen miracles happen."
