Tighe School of Irish Dance |
The Daniel Tighe School of Irish Dance was formed by Danny Tighe
in 1994. Prior to relocating to North Carolina, Danny ran a number
of dance schools in Long Island, New York. Danny has been involved
in Irish dance since the age of 8. In 1978 Daniel was awarded
his Teaching Certificate of Irish Dance. Daniel has performed
with The Chieftains, The Wolf Tones, Pat Roper, Frank Paterson
and Andy Cooney.Daniel is the first Irish dance teacher in North
Carolina. He now has three schools in Raleigh, Wake Forest, and
Apex. As the interest for dance picked up, Daniel was asked to
choreograph a dance for “Dancing at Lunghnasa”; a
play presented by the Raleigh Little Theatre. Ashley House approached
Danny about teaching her a routine for the 2001 Miss North Carolina
contest. And guess what… She Won! For more information contact
