O'Grady Quinlan Academy of Irish Dance NEW STUDIO OPEN HOUSE

The O’Grady Quinlan Academy of Irish Dance is proud to announce the grand opening of our brand new, state of the art training facility on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at 228 West Canal Street in Easton, PA from 5:30-8 pm.

The O’Grady Quinlan Academy instructs athletes of all ages and levels, ranging from 4 year old new beginners to elite champions, in the beautiful artform of Irish dance.  O’Grady Quinlan is the only school in the Lehigh Valley registered with An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha, the oldest and most prominent association of Irish dance in the world.  O’Grady Quinlan dancers have achieved great success, with 17 solo competitors and 1 team competing at the 2014 World Irish Dance Championships in London this past April.  

“We can’t wait to begin training in the new 8,000 square foot studio, featuring three large dance rooms with Stage Step Flooring, cameras for parent viewing and two changing areas,” says O’Grady Quinlan ADCRG Colleen Schroeder.  “ Our mission is to provide adequate space for dancers of all levels to develop their talents, learn new choregraphy and to prepare for competitions and community service events.”

The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 5:30pm followed by a short dance exhibition by some of the O’Grady Quinlan Academy students.  An open house mixer, with light refreshments, will take place from 6:15-8:00pm.  The public is invited to stop by to view the facility and to meet the students and staff as we embark on this new phase of our academy.  The event will feature raffle prizes and opportunities for new beginners to sign up for classes!  Classes will start in the first week of September at all of O’Grady Quinlan’s locations, including Easton, Allentown, Hatfield and Bloomsbury, NJ.
