Still trying to take it all in✨
What a season this has been 🤩

Finding out that my choreography and staging for “Raise a Glass” has been AIMS nominated for Best Moment in Theatre was such a special moment 🎭🥂. Myself and Amy Penston were so proud of this piece and what we all managed to create ❤️.

And to make it even more special, Avonmore Musical Society’s production of The Clockmaker’s Daughter has also been nominated for Best Overall Show in the country 🌟

To top it all off, being honoured with Dance Educator of the Year at the Dance Awards Ireland has made this one of the most memorable years yet 💫

And now… we finish the year on a high next weekend with our full-scale studio production of Circus of Dreams 🎪✨

Feeling very lucky, very proud, and very excited for what’s still to come.

✨ Rehearsals are officially in full swing for our spectacular end-of-year production… The Circus of Dreams! 🎪

At any given moment, our studio is buzzing with energy — from our tiniest stars aged 4 taking their first steps into the spotlight, right through to our incredible senior performers aged 18 bringing the magic to life.

Behind the scenes, it’s just as exciting… while routines are being perfected and songs are soaring, we’re also busy sourcing dazzling costumes, creating projections, collecting props, and organising every last detail (yes — tickets too! 🎟️).

✨ This year’s show tells the inspiring story of Phineas Barnum — the visionary who dared to dream beyond the ordinary and created a world of wonder, spectacle, and possibility. From humble beginnings to the bright lights of the big top, it’s a journey filled with ambition, imagination, and the belief that everyone deserves a place to shine. ✨

Written, directed and choreographed by Martina Lynch, this production promises to be bigger, bolder, and more magical than ever before. Martina is delighted as always to have Natasha Byrne assisting with the production.

It’s a whirlwind of creativity, teamwork, and pure excitement — and we cannot wait to share it all with you.

✨ The magic is building… the wonder is coming… and this is one show you won’t want to miss. ✨

Four of our wonderful Studio 55 lads are performing their hearts out this week in St. Mary’s Concert Hall with the Avonmore Musical Society’s production of The Clockmaker’s Daughter 🎭✨

It’s so special to see them involved in such a fantastic show, and even more special watching my own son Frankie looking up to the older boys so much ❤️ They’re always so kind to him — encouraging, supporting and including him every step of the way 👏

Safe to say Frankie is convinced he’s one of the lads now! 🤣🙌
