CLASSES IN FALLS CHURCH, VA



Céad míle fáilte!

Welcome to the O'Neill James School  of Irish Dance!  We are a
family-run, student-oriented school for dancers of all ages and abilities. Established in Washington DC in 1969,  ONJ is proud to be
the longest-running Irish dance school in the Nation's Capital and
one of the oldest in the United States.

My mission is not only to share my love of Irish dance, culture, and heritage, but to foster in each dancer a strong sense of self esteem, confidence, teamwork, and  a healthy mind and body .

I have classes for boys and girls age four and up, beginner to championship level, and I also offer Ceili and step dancing classes
for adults. I provide a fun and disciplined learning environment that encourages each dancer to develop his or her skills through hard
work and respect.

At ONJ there is no pressure to dance competitively.  I believe in helping each dancer find what is comfortable for them. There are many ways to enjoy Irish dance at a level that is comfortable for each student, be it individual and team competitions, performances, non-competitive events, summer camps or just weekly class. To love to dance is most important.
Dance for the love of the Dance!
