Huge congratulations to our very own Erin Grace Mayo on your fabulous dancing at the World Irish Dancing Championships this week. Your teachers and your family at the Westfall Boyle O’Rourke Academy couldn’t be prouder of what a role model you are - your work ethic, your attitude, your drive, and your gracious and grateful demeanor are an inspiration to all who have the pleasure of knowing you! To be a World Medal Holder yet again and 17th place out of over 150 talented young ladies is just the icing on the cake!

We are delighted to welcome our dear friend and colleague LuAnn O’Rourke aboard as we begin a new chapter for all of us.

Also joining the team are Sue Fuller and Kelly Pappas, both of whom will be teaching in our New York locations. We all so look forward to the opportunities and collaboration that we will share moving forward together as we continue to spread our love for Irish dance.
