After 45 incredible years, our founder and leader, Anne O’Connell Boucher, is passing the torch off to the next generation. Anne’s love for Irish culture and dedication to dance has impacted countless lives, bringing joy to audiences across Central Massachusetts. We will miss your infectious laugh and warm presence every class. “You better come back and visit us!” (as she always says to our high school graduates). We love you 💚

However, this is not the end for AO Step Dancers. Our passionate advanced dancers, Kaitlyn Geise and Haleigh Harrington, are ready to lead us into this new chapter. Having danced with us for over 25 years, they’re excited to carry on Anne’s legacy while bringing fresh energy and vision. With their deep love for Irish dance and commitment to the community, we’re confident they’ll guide us to new heights, while keeping the spirit of AO Step Dancers alive for many years to come.
