BEGLAN ACADEMY OF IRISH DANCE was founded in 2007 by former Riverdance lead, Sean Beglan, TCRG, and his wife, former Riverdance troupe member, Jillian (Winke) Beglan. Both world medalists who chose to set up their school in the Milwaukee area where Jillian grew up. Beglan Academy has gained a reputation for being a tight knit school with a family-like atmosphere, all while still achieving regional and international success in the competitive world.

Our instructors have years of experience in dance and teaching, and many of them were also professional dancers. They are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential.
We keep our class sizes small to ensure that each student receives individual attention and personalized feedback. This allows for a more effective and enjoyable learning experience.
We offer multiple performance opportunities throughout the year, including performing at Milwaukee Irish Fest and our annual recital. These events give students the chance to showcase their skills and gain confidence on stage.
OUR MISSION
Beglan Academy is about more than just Irish dance. We hope to provide a place where every student can thrive and reach their highest potential. We challenge, encourage and nurture each individual student. Being a part of our dance family means we work hard and cheer on their friends and competitors!
