The Irish Dance Academy est 2010 – LEARN
Irish Dance Village est 2020 – GROW

I am always learning, adapting and changing and you can see this through the evolvement of the branches of my dance school.

Siamsoir – a place for dancers to perform. Launched in 2005 when I was finished studying at The University of St Andrews. I wanted to perform more with the dancers I had met at the university Dance Society and so out in to the corporate world we went. We are still going strong performing at weddings and events.
In 2007 our theatre company was launched as we attended our first Edinburgh Festival Fringe with ‘Battle for Eire’ our first theatrical production. Since then we have been to the Fringe in 2009, 2011, 2016 and 2022 with all new original works. Most recently and most successfully ‘Decision – an Irish Dance Play’. The first Irish dance play at the Festival.


The Irish Dance Academy – a place for dancers to learn. Launching in 2010 after so many dancers wanted to learn our style of performance Irish dance. It continues to this day empowering dancers to step out of their comfort zone and live fuller lives. Classes are available for adults in Edinburgh.
I never wanted to attach my name to the title of the school as is traditionally done in Irish dance as I wanted each member to rightly feel connected to and part of the Academy. It may be my business but it was and will always be their classes.

The Irish Dance Village – a place for dancers to grow. Launching during the pandemic in 2020 this online venture was created out of necessity to bring together dancers online in a desperately difficult and isolating time.
We offer Irish Barre, Irish HIIT and Yoga all online with access to the back catalogue.
We also include well-being, mindfulness and community for Irish dancers in person and on-line. With Village Gatherings such as socials, dance camps and workshops we are welcoming to dancers from all schools as we are not affiliated with any governing body. Join here
I also host a monthly goal setting workshop for all dancers in our community. Read more about MŌNATH here – a mindful month leads to a heart-filled life.
