My Irish dance career started at age 5 with the McNulty School in Chicago and continued with the McBride School in the Bay Area, CA until I was 18. Though I stopped competing when I left for college, I was thrilled to connect with a group of fellow retired dancers on campus and continue to perform for fun and for exercise. Through that group, I met mutuals that connected me with DIDA! I’ve been helping out with classes here ever since. It’s been a huge privilege to watch this school grow over the years and I’m so grateful to Joe, Bern, Kendal, and the entire team for the opportunity to stay connected to the Irish dance world that has given so much to me.
