Welcome to O’Shea-Chaplin Academy of Irish Dance.
We are a family-run, student-oriented school for dancers of all ages and abilities. Established in Ireland in 1954 and in Boston in the 1960s, we are proud to be one of the longest-running Irish dance companies in the United States.
We have classes for boys and girls age 4 and up, beginner to championship level, and we also offer ceili and step dancing classes for adults. Our six professional teachers are certified with An Coimisiun in Dublin, Ireland, and have years of experience creating a fun and disciplined learning environment that encourages each dancer to develop his or her skills through hard work and respect.
"O'Shea-Chaplin is an outstanding dance school. I have been dancing for 5 years under Rita's guidance, I have been able to exceed all my own personal goals for dance."
