Mullane Godley Irish Dance Academy
Welcome to the home of the Regional, National, and World Champions of Irish Dance. For 42 years, the Mullane and Godley families have been recognized as one of the premier Irish dance teaching staffs and dance schools in the country. The Academy was founded on a unique philosophy that all dancers, regardless of level, are treated the same. This philosophy has been handed down to the next generation of teachers and dancers. We want everyone to have fun, enjoy the class, and no step is the wrong step. MG offers both recreational classes and competitive classes.
