★★★★★Molly ManningI have both danced and taught at Murphy’s and it is truly such an amazing place. Sheila and all of the teacher are so supportive and want to help your kid succeed. Murphy’s not only creates a welcoming environment but also has given me so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. It is more than just a dance school but truly a family!
★★★★★Marie IlseMurphy Irish Arts Center is the best! It truly feels like a family and everyone looks out for each other and cheers each other on! The teachers are amazing and approachable. It all is flexible and customizable to how much you can want to compete/dance. This will be our fifth year and we are so happy! My children love their friends and their teachers!
★★★★★Colleen HoganAs a mother of four daughters who danced under the wisdom and expertise of Sheila Murphy Crawford, I can say without hesitation that their dance experiences helped make them the strong, competent women they are today. They grew in perseverance, determination and teamwork. I even rekindled my own love of Irish dancing when I joined the adult classes. We have a blast together and it’s a great way to stay in shape while having fun with friends.
