From IrishDanceWiki
From their web site:
- The Kennelly School of Irish Dance was founded by John and Maureen Kennelly in 1959. John — from Listowel, County Kerry — met Maureen at Irish dance class in New York. Several years after they married and their first daughter, Patricia, was born, they moved to Maureen's native San Francisco. There, they established their dance school. After Patricia turned 18, she assumed the role as the school's director and full-time teacher.
- The Kennelly School offers classes in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Gatos and San Bruno. Students range in age from three to adult, and in dance level from beginner through championship.
- A number of Kennelly School students have won and placed in solo, ceílí and drama categories in the North American Championships. Solo titles are held from the European, Great Britain, British National and All-Scotland championships, and students have also placed in solo and group dancing in World Championship competitions in Ireland.
