CULKIN SCHOOL

At the Culkin School of Irish Dance, we teach the tradition of Irish dance and music. If your dancer is interested in competing, we will prepare them to compete with confidence and pride. The school has had many successes competitively at the local, regional, national and international level. In 2015 we had ten dancers qualify for the 2016 World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, an 85% recall rate as well as five top five solo dancers and two figure team champions at the 2015 Regional Championships (Oireachtas)!... In Irish, Céad Mile Fáilte means ‘one hundred thousand welcomes'! Welcome to our website! The Culkin School of Irish Dance was founded in 1997 by Sean and Denise Culkin. At the start, Sean taught classes out of a church basement in Bethesda. Since then, the school has expanded and we now have locations in Silver Spring, Bethesda, Rockville, and Glen Echo Park, Maryland.
