Maguire Academy of Irish Dance is all about discipline, responsibility, competition, hard work, and passion. Since its inception in 2006, the Maguire Academy has sent dancers overseas to the World Championships. At the regional championships this year in California, Maguire Academy had eight solo dancers place in the top ten of their competition. Our region consists of the thirteen most western states. The Maguire Academy performs in and around Tucson, Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston, and has earned many accreditations and honors in festivals and parades. Dancers perform for TV shows, news broadcasts, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in three major cities, along with Tucson Meet Yourself, Tucson Celtic Festival and Scottish Highland Games, Celtic Harvest Festival in Sedona, First Friday Art Festival in Phoenix, and for the Tucson Padres. This totals approximately 175 performances annually.
