25 years!! How is it even possible!!!

Countless dancers through the classes, proudest teachers in the world. 🥰

There had to be a little performance to celebrate — our World Champions, Champions, and Ards took to the floor. We missed those who couldn’t be there.
It was one incredible night. 💫

Watching our current World Champions, and some of our Ards and Craobhs dance Riverdance at the Anniversary Ball gave us all the chills — this is what 25 years of the Carolan School is all about.

Thanks to Sophie, Rebecca, Isabelle, Jack, Laura Mai, Alison, Mya, Ruby & Lilien for a beautiful performance.

Thank you to every dancer, past and present, and every parent of the school who made this milestone unforgettable. 🥂

We are SO lucky to have in our corner. 💜

This year, once again, the team there have given us sponsorship for our Worlds team.

It’s not just sponsorship — it’s belief in our dancers, in our school, and in everything we’re building here at Carolan School of Irish Dancing. And that means the absolute world to us and we are so very grateful!!

To everyone at — thank you for backing our Worlds team, for the support, and for being part of our journey. We are endlessly grateful. 💜✨

Thanks a mill, guys

⬇️ Very late getting these amazing kids to the grid, but HUGE well done to all of our dancers who took part in the Irish Open Championships 2026! 🏆☘️
We had absolutely amazing dancing from our team dancers and our solo dancers — right from our beginners all the way up to our champions! 🌟 Every single dancer that stepped on that stage made us so proud across both weekends! 👏💚

Our final class tonight with our Irish Open dancers… and what a special one it was. 42 if you taking to the floor this weekend!!! (Missing a few from the photo 🙈)

From our youngest 4-year-olds to our seniors, we could not be prouder of every single one of you. The hard work, dedication and determination you’ve shown has been incredible to watch.

But what makes Team Carolan so special isn’t just the dancing — it’s the kindness, encouragement and support you show each other every single day.

Tonight that was so clear in the beautiful little messages you shared with your teammates… and with your teachers 🥹

Before you even step on stage this weekend at the Irish Open Championships, you’ve already made us the proudest teachers.

A special shout out to Robert who can’t dance this weekend as he’s having surgery tomorrow. We are all sending you our very best wishes and thinking of you.

And to Caoilinn who is out with injury — we can’t wait to see you back on the floor soon 🤞🏻

Best of luck to all our dancers this weekend.
We are all cheering you on. Always.
