Liven up your celebrations with Irish dancers from Saint Brendan’s School of Irish Dance. With dancers from five through fifty five, including dancers who will be representing Colorado at the 2006 National Championships, Saint Brendan’s will show you the best of irish dance!
From jigs, reels and slip jigs to hornpipes, set dances and ceili (pronounced kay-lee) meaning party or gathering) group dances, we guarantee to keep you entertained. Feel the urge to get up and dance yourself? Saint Brendan’s can lead your group in a simple ceili dance.
Our goal at Saint Brendan’s is to participate in and share Irish culture through the grace, energy and strength of Irish dance.
Saint Brendan’s School of Irish Dance is directed by Judy DeNapoli, T.C.R.G., A.D.C.R.G. Ms. DeNapoli studied irish dance for over 15 years under the Shamrock and McTeggart Schools. After seasons of performance and prizewinner competitions, she earned certification as a fully accredited teacher of Irish dancing, or T.C.R.G., from An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (the Irish Dancing Commission), Ireland.
In the spring of 2002, Ms. DeNapoli earned certification by An Coimisiun as an A.D.C.R.G. This means she is qualified to adjudicate, or judge, any Irish dance competition, anywhere in the world, that is sanctioned by An Coimisiun.
Dancers from Saint Brendan’s have won Regional, National and World’s medals, in both individual and team competitions.
