How We Got Started

Yvonne Kelly, owner and operator of The Yvonne Kelly Dance Academy/Irish Dance Studio, has been training dancers as young as the age of 3 through to adults in the art of Irish Dance since 1980 throughout York Region. The studio has produced championship Irish dancers who have been featured with such notables as the Barra MacNeils and Elvis Stojko. In 2017, a troupe of dancers ranging in age from 12 to 17, completed a 5 city tour of China. Graduating dancers have gone on to perform in such reknown productions as "Feet of Flames" in Taiwan with Michael Flatley and "Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games" on Broadway. In addition to Irish, The Yvonne Kelly Dance Academy also provides training in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, musical theatre and acro with studio graduates going on to pursue post secondary studies and professional careers in the arts, performing throughout the world.
