the Mullane-Healy-O'Brien Academy

In October, 2007, with great anticipation and excitement, the Mullane-Healy O'Brien Academy was born.  The family-run Mullane Irish Dance Academy, which was established in 1985 and the Healy-O'Brien Academy joined talents and are now looking to the future as one of Chicago's premiere Irish dance academies as  the Mullane Healy  O'Brien Irish Dance Academy.

Classes are held in our state of the art studios in Elmhurst, Edison Park, Orland Park, the Quad-Cities and Gaelic Park.  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.

From recreational dance instruction, to preparation for the World Championship, in the Mullane-Healy-O'Brien Irish Dance Academy you will find a hardworking— yet fun atmosphere, from both the teaching staff and the students. 

Under the Mullane Healy O'Brien 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.  

We believe that one of our greatest assets is the diversity of the Mullane- Healy- O'Brien teaching staff. Although each teacher is the primary instructor in their  own studio and class, all teachers travel among the various locations to work  with all of 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-O'Brien 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-O'Brien Academy is poised for the future.
