Clare and Lisa began dancing at the tender age of four under the tuition of the late Ms Lil Tully and her son Colm. They finished their competitive dancing career under the tuition of Ms Michelle Lee and Ms Rachel Byrne. They graduated as TCRG with An Chomhdháil Na Múinteoirí le Rincí Gaelacha Teoranta in 2013.
Throughout their competitive career they have won a number of professional titles, including All Ireland’s, All England’s, Leinster and Dublin. They have achieved numerous accolades and have performed in World Championships and shows all over Ireland, Europe and America.
Clare and Lisa regularly perform in corporate dance shows and have their own choreographed audience interactive show for tourists in the Brazen Head in Dublin.
Clare and Lisa were delighted to open the door to their state of the art, purpose-built Irish Dance Studio in 2015. Today they have 3 studios in total, fitted out to the highest standard with Harlequin Sprung Dance Floors, Wall to Wall mirrors and projector Screens for Interactive Learning. All studios are situated in a prime location In the Spawell Complex, Templeogue, Dublin 6, just off exit 11 off the M50.
“It has been our dream since we were children to have our own studio one day, with hard work and determination this dream has become a reality. It is an honour to be able to share this space with our pupils and future pupils, to help them grow and develop as young dancers. We wanted to offer the best possible dance studio to teach our students in, and we are so thrilled to have this as our new home.
We have a hard working and loyal Academy who amaze us every day with their talents and enthusiasm. It is because of them and their wonderfully supportive families that we love our job so much. This studio is for them and for every student who crosses our door in the future.”

"I have watched my daughter Brooke flourish over the last three years. Clare and Lisa are amazing teachers and have created an environment which promotes and inspires self-confidence, nurtures self-belief and encourages hard work. Brooke has learned discipline and good behaviour whilst also having great fun. Clare and Lisa are more than just dance teachers – they are great friends and an inspiration to all the students. Their dedication and devotion shines through in all their WTA stars."
