The Gavin Dance Academy is based in the South Galway area and is dedicated to introducing children to the wonderful skill of Irish Dancing. Classes are held in a fun and friendly environment where children are encouraged to get active and enjoy learning our national skill. Formerly known as the Marie Gavin School of Irish Dancing, Marie Gavin has been teaching for over 25 years now and has amassed

a number of talented dancers throughout her career. In 2014, a veteran Gavin School Dancer Miss April Dooley continued her dancing career and qualified as a T.C.R.G. With April on board the Gavin School became the Gavin Dance Academy (GDA)

GDA has produced many successful dancers through the years and has grown from a once a week class of beginners to a class of Champions at both Connaught and All Ireland & International and World level. However, GDA is not specifically competition based and dancers are first and foremost told to enjoy the friends they make and the fun they can have in a non- competitive environment, which is completely at parents discretion. The GDA dancers often participate at local functions such as St. Patricks Day Parade, Family Days and other local festivals and gatherings. For further information on how to become a part of the Gavin Dance Academy contact Marie Gavin ADCRG on 087-2468655 or April Dooley TCRG on 086-0539489. Everyone is welcome so come along and join the GDA Gang :)

It is with deep sadness we make this post after hearing of the very sad passing of one of our lovely Dance Mom's Caroline O'Grady.
Keelin we are heartbroken 💔 for you, your Dad and all your family.

Caroline was a devoted Mom who travelled the roads over the years to classes, Feiseanna, trips & exhibitions and of course, Disney ✨️ She was great fun and very supportive to everyone in our class. Of course she was so so proud of Keelin and all her achievements over the years, not only in dancing but all her accomplishments. A true Dance Mom who will be sadly missed by all 🤍

May Caroline rest in peace ✨️
