MacConmara Academy of Irish Dance 2006 Brown Street, Akron, OH 44319

"My daughter has been dancing at Mac for a few years now. MacConmara is filled with amazing teachers, parents, kids and opportunities. One of the best things about this studio is how natural it is to feel like a family. There have been plenty of dance competitions where the other kids and parents are standing beside you waiting to celebrate the results for your own kid and when they come in, we celebrate together! Your family and kids will have opportunities to learn, grow, walk in parades, win competitions, lose competitions, laugh, cry, celebrate and Irish dance of course! But we do it together. MacConmara offers lessons for the beginner all the way to the highest level of Irish dance. Wherever you're starting, you will fit right in! Joining this studio has been one of the best decisions we've made for our daughter and our family."

"Our children have been dancing at MacConmara for the last 5 years, and we couldn’t be happier. At this point it’s basically our home away from home. The instructors are wonderful with the kids and make Irish dancing fun!! My oldest daughter has learned SO much and has gotten tons of support from her teachers; at class, at competitions and just in life. The skills these kids learn are unbelievable. They’re taught good sportsmanship, how to win and lose with grace as well as how to be supportive of their fellow classmates. Teresa has done a fine job of creating a positive environment for all the dancers to grow and develop. Whether you’re just looking for a fun activity for your toddler or your child wants to Irish dance at a competitive level, this is the place!"

"Mac is family. There is just something about Mac that is different than any other studio we see out there. My kids have danced for (and with) Teresa for 6 and 4 years respectively. They have competed on local and regional levels with this studio. She and her teachers work extremely hard to teach, engage and motivate every dancer to what their big goal is. The dancers and the families love each other, cheer for each other and are always in every dancer's corner no matter what. One thing we always hear at competitions is "your school is always out in force and everywhere for all the kids!" 2020 has obviously changed everything but they have cheered for each other from afar. If you are looking for a dance school that will give your kids friends for life, come give MacConmara a try."

"We absolutely love MacConmara Academy of Irish Dance. Our oldest daughter started in 2014, and since then all of our 5 daughters have fallen in love with Irish dance. Our oldest is retired now, but the other 4 continue on. MacConmara has amazing teachers and an outstanding, supportive environment!"

"We joined the Mac family a year and a half ago, and we are all just so happy to be there. Everyone, from the teachers to the families, are amazing. Even though students may be in competition, they are so very encouraging and are always pulling for each other. There are no "dance moms," and we all want the best for every dancer. As for the teaching - my daughter has been challenged (always kindly) and she has learned so much and grown so much as a dancer. I highly recommend MacConmara Academy!"
