The Shea-Jennings School is a competitive Irish Dancing school and its students successfully compete in local feiseanna (plural of “feis” which is an Irish dance competition) as well as national and international competitions. The school also hosts an annual feis that attracts dancers from all over the nation..

While competitive Irish Dancing offers many exciting opportunities to our dancers, Deirdre understands that not all students are interested in competing. Therefore, competition is a choice. The school is equally supportive of students who wish to take classes just for the love of dance. Each school year ends with a recital at Cranford High School where all classes, beginner through championship, have an opportunity to perform for their friends and family.

The school actively performs wherever and whenever asked, particularly during the St. Patrick's Day season. In addition to a host of local and civic events, our dancers have performed at Epcot Center, Radio City, Carnegie Hall, The Paper Mill Playhouse, Union County Arts Center, the NJ Performing Arts Center and the PNC Bank Arts Center. Our dancers are also available to perform at private parties, weddings, and corporate events. For more information about inviting performers to your events, email us at info@sheajennings.com.
