Welcome to the Scariff Locklier Leonelli
School of Irish Dance
At Scariff Locklier Leonelli School of Irish Dance, we are more than just a dance school—we are a community dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich traditions of Irish dance while inspiring the next generation of dancers. Rooted in centuries-old Celtic heritage, Irish dance is known for its intricate footwork, rhythmic precision, and vibrant energy. Once passed down by traveling dance masters across Ireland, it has now become a global phenomenon, capturing hearts with performances like Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, and competitive feiseanna.
Scariff School proudly carries this legacy forward, blending tradition with modern excellence. Our passionate instructors provide expert training in both competitive step dancing and social ceili dancing, fostering discipline, confidence, and a love for Irish culture. Through performances, competitions, and community events, we bring the joy of Irish dance to families in Tampa, FL, Salt Lake City, UT, and beyond, ensuring that this treasured art form continues to thrive for generations to come.
Join us, step into tradition, and let your child’s journey in Irish dance begin!
