“We love the Finnegan Academy! My children attend Irish Dance class in Baldwin Park and they love it! The teacher, Ms. Finnegan is awesome. She continuously encourages my children to put forth their best effort and I can’t believe the progress they make in every class. They LOVE going to class every week and, equally, we love being a part of the Finnegan Academy! We highly recommend this Irish Dance Academy to anyone who wants to learn from the best there is in Orlando. “

“We absolutely love Finnegan Academy of Irish dance! My daughter only started dancing with them over the summer and I’m amazed at how much Ms Amanda and Ms Maggie have taught her in that short period of time. They are so sweet and patient in the Tiny Tots class. My daughter looks forward to every class and raves about her friends and teachers. I’m so thankful my daughter (and hopefully her little sister soon too) is a part of this wonderful academy.”

“We enrolled our daughter in lessons at Windermere Elementary as an after-school program. The desire to try something new quickly turned into a love of Irish Dance. Ms. Finnegan’s passion for performing, her international experience and commitment to her dancers is reflected in her teaching style. Even at the beginner level she encourages her dancers to dream and work towards new goals. Our daughter looks forward to classes each week and bursts with excitement when she talks about upcoming performances with the Finnegan Academy of Irish Dance.”

“Our son came out of "retirement" to get some cardio work. After just one class with Finnegan, his passion for Irish Dance was reignited. With Amanda's encouragement, he returned to competition, and at his first Oireachtas since High School, he qualified for Worlds! Having been a dance mom for many years, I highly recommend Finnegan Academy of Irish Dance to anyone looking for a welcoming, professional environment. Amanda's compassion for teaching, dedication to her students, and desire to share her love for Irish Dance and culture is clear. At Finnegan, you are family!”

“I am truly so happy that I joined Finnegan Academy of Irish Dance. The dance instruction is high quality and the sense of community has been really welcoming and supportive. I think the best thing about the Finnegan Academy is that every dancer is valued and encouraged. Whether you’re a beginner or a champ dancer, you’re given the tools, dedicated assistance, and friendly support to help you grow as a dancer and as a person. Amanda does an outstanding job on all fronts. The school is very well organized and professional, and the caring instruction really brings out the best in each student. I am having the best experience dancing with the Finnegan Academy and I would recommend to anyone looking for Irish dance classes for themselves or for their kids to come join our dance family.”

“After years and years away from dance Amanda made is so easy to get back into the rhythm of it. She reminded me why I loved dancing so much as a child and am so glad I am back into it as an adult. She is encouraging and dedicated to the success of all her dancers, whether that be just for fun or competing. Amanda has gone out of her way to provide her dancers with everything they could need to be successful in the world of dance. From dance studios across the area, to drills and conditioning, to catered steps that fit the dancer. She knows what is best for her dancers and will do anything she can to help. She has classes for all levels of dancers and all ages. If ever looking for an Irish dance studio, look no farther than the Finnegan Academy. We are more than a school, we are a family.”

“So proud to be part of this amazing Dance Family. Amanda Finnegan and her team are fantastic teachers, who provide instruction, encouragement and confidence to all their students. Charli has only been dancing for just a year, and Amanda has taken her from a shy left footed girl to being committed and hard working in her strive to learn this wonderful art. In her first 2 competitions Charli won 5 x 1st places, 2 x 2nd place and an overall Winners cup in her category. Thank you Amanda for everything you do for Charlotte.”
