McGinley Academy of Irish Dance

Welcome to the McGinley Academy of Irish Dance! The Academy offers traditional step dancing classes for children and adults.

We are the proud hosts of the Greater Toronto Feis together with the Toronto Irish Folk Art Society; and also the host of the Clearwater Beach Feis which is sponsored by the Gaelic Heritage Preservation League.

Our Academy can be found in two very different areas in the continent of North America: to the north in the beautiful province of Ontario, Canada; and to the south in the Sunshine state of Florida, USA. It is our love of Irish dance, our strong friendships, and our sense of community that forges the distance between us and keeps us united as one Academy!

Our philosophy at the McGinley Academy of Irish Dance is to impart a love of Irish dance and an appreciation for Irish culture. Our goal is to recognize each dancers unique talent and abilities, and cater to the needs of each individual. Through weekly instruction, basic skills are reinforced and technique is mastered. Dedicated instructors encourage performers to uncover their individual style, and challenge them to perform to the best of their ability.
