O'Riley Irish Dance 536 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139

"Jackie has created an amazing dance program that strives to expose and immerse the dancers in the Irish music culture beyond just their class - dancing at Irish cultural events, multiple venues and Ceili dances, to enrich the experience of the culture of Irish music and dance. Our daughter has danced with Jackie for 8+ years, and we are always impressed with how adeptly Jackie works with kids of all ages, and creates amazing community with her dancers, as evidenced by the continuity of her class members over the years. Highly recommend!!"

"Our daughter has been dancing with Jackie for several years. O'Riley Irish Dance School is absolutely wonderful! Jackie is an excellent teacher and focuses on not only teaching the steps but also on appreciating the music. The performances are great - it's been amazing to see how much the kids have learned each year!"

"Jackie O'Riley is an amazing dancer and a very good teacher. This type of traditional dance is close to the ground and Jackie's teaching is down-to-earth as well :-) !! A frequent focus in the senior performance class is on musicality -- communication between dancers and musicians -- and also on comradery between dancers. Our daughter has been with Jackie for 7 years. It's definitely her favorite activity and it's fun to watch as well. I'm glad we have a community-oriented non-competitive dance option like this available to us."

"O'Riley Irish Dance is so much more than just a dance class! The dance instruction is amazing, but the sense of community that is fostered by Jackie and her staff makes it a place of true friendship and love. My two daughters both started at a very young age and will carry this love of dance and community with them through their entire lives."

"My daughters have been dancing at O'Riley Irish Dance for the last 5 years, and we couldn't be happier! They are receiving a wonderful dance education in a studio that focuses on tradition, musicality and community. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for Irish dance outside of the competitive dance world."
