Now celebrating our 27th year, the Mullane Healy Godley Academy continues to be one of North America's premiere Irish dance academies.  The Academy has always taken a team approach in instruction where all dancers are treated equally and all share in the commitment of a dedicated teaching staff.  Through this global approach, dancers share in the talent of a teaching staff that has choreographed and coached a multitude of Regional, National, and World Champion teams and solos, along with the only school in Chicago that has two World Champions on staff. 

 

The Academy offers classes for everyone.  From recreational dance instruction, to preparation for the World Championship, in the Mullane Healy Godley Irish Dance Academy you will find a hardworking— yet fun atmosphere, from both the teaching staff and the student.  To illustrate the hard work, preparation and practice of the dancers (affectionately known as MHuGsters) - the Academy is home to World Champions, All-Ireland Champions, North American Champions, All-Scotland Champions, Regional Champions and a host of Open Championship dancers.  And although these are global achievements to be sure - more recognizable is the camaraderie and friendships developed between all the dancers  as each dancer cheers the other on to success. 

 

The Academy is proud to treat every MHuGster equally ... this is not a goal, but a reality.  Each dancer, whether Beginner, Recreational, or Competitive receives the same dedicated and energetic instruction.

 

Classes are held in our state of the art studios in Elmhurst, Edison Park, Gaelic Park, and the Quad-Cities.  The blending of talents will now afford ALL present and future dancers an extensive array of opportunities combining the skills of  both schools - through avenues such as performances, recitals, choreographies, School Feises, workshops and Academy events. Under the Mullane Healy Godley Academy, classes are offered in both recreational and competitive Irish dancing allowing dancers to enjoy Irish dancing at their pace. 

 

For our competitive dancers who enjoy dancing in competitions (whether it be a local Feis or the World Championships), there is a suitable class for their level, as well as dancers who simply choose to enjoy Irish dancing as a recreational activity.   Every dancer is part of Team MHG !

 

 

We believe that one of our greatest assets is the diversity of the Mullane  Healy Godley teaching staff. Although each teacher is the primary instructor in their  studio and class, all teachers travel among the various locations to work  with all  the students in the school.  Each teacher brings a different perspective and approach to the students, and each teacher relies on their own strengths to further develop the abilities and talents of the dancers.   The teaching faculty at the Mullane Healy Godley Academy is an international fusion of some of the most highly accomplished and decorated teachers in Irish Dance today.    Combining these talents, the Mullane Healy Godley Academy is poised for the future.

 

We welcome you to Team MHG - the Mullane Healy Godley Academy.
