At the Doyle Academy

The Doyle Academy of Irish Dance

At the Doyle Academy, we offer Irish dance classes for  preschool, children & adults across multiple locations in Auckland. Our state-of-the-art, purpose-built dance studio in East Tamaki serves as the heart of our academy, with additional satellite locations in Papakura and Remuera to make learning Irish dance accessible to everyone.

Under the expert guidance of  Leeann and Paula, both qualified TCRG teachers registered with the  Traditional Irish Dancing Association of New Zealand and An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (the International Irish Dancing Commission), we provide an inclusive and friendly environment for all dancers and their families.

Our classes cater to all ages and skill levels, with personalised instruction to help each dancer achieve their potential. We focus on refining technique, setting achievable goals, and offering continuous encouragement to support each dancer's journey in Irish dance. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, we are dedicated to helping you reach your Irish dancing goals.

To date, the Academy has gained 61 New Zealand Solo titles, 216 World Qualifications, 35 New Zealand Team titles, 6 solo scholarship awards, 3 AIO Champions, 5 World Championship recall medals and 1 World Championship Medal.

"We appreciate the high standard and commitment of the teachers at the Doyle Academy and the effort they put into individualising the teaching program to cater for each student and their particular needs and abilities. There is a wonderful culture at the Doyle Academy where successful older students encourage and mentor younger dancers."
