Bluegrass Ceili Academy dancers at the Lexington St. Patrick's Parade

At Bluegrass Ceili Academy, Lexington’s community Irish dance school, we celebrate our culture through dancing and we share it throughout the region. March and the St. Patrick’s season might be our busiest time, but you can find our dancers spreading joy year-round. Our dancers bring the joy of Irish dance to senior centers, festivals, parades, and more – because everyone deserves a performance that makes their hearts sing!

Why Bluegrass Ceili Academy gives back

Giving back to the community is what we’re is all about. We see dance as a powerful tool for connection and celebration. Here’s what sharing our passion for Irish dance brings to Lexington:

  • Building community: Dance connects people. Whether it’s residents at a senior center tapping their toes or parade crowds clapping along, our performances create a sense of shared experience.
  • Preserving culture: Traditional dance is a vibrant thread in Irish heritage. By performing, we keep this rich history alive for all generations.
  • Making hearts sing: The energy and expressiveness of Irish dance is contagious! We love to see smiles light up faces and make hearts sing as our dancers perform.
