McNamara McCarthy School of Irish Dance
Creating a community of happy, thriving kids
Confident dancers. Strong friendships. Happy, thriving kids.
At McNamara McCarthy School of Irish Dance, we create a positive and supportive environment where dancers grow in confidence, build lasting friendships, and develop a love for Irish dance.
We welcome dancers of all levels beginning at age 3. New dancers are always welcome. No experience needed.
We are located in Wauwatosa and welcome dancers from across the Milwaukee area.
What families are saying
I have watched my daughters grow not only in terms of skill-level, but with regards to perseverance, goal-setting, and most importantly as teammates and mentors to younger dancers. The way this extends beyond the dance floor is what I value most.
McNamara McCarthy School of Irish Dance cultivates not only strong Irish dancers, but confident, hardworking, community-driven youngsters. The instructors are respectful, excellent communicators, and know when to push the dancers and when to respect their boundaries.
As a parent, I have always been proud to say that my daughter is involved with a school that is truly devoted to the students and their families. In anything competitive, it can be easy to get wrapped up in menial matters and impure motivations, but the women who lead McNamara McCarthy remain honest and upstanding all while keeping their dancers engaged and excited about this form of dance and culture.
