Greene-O'Leary is the longest running Irish Dancing school in New England.

The Greene School of Irish Dancing began 69 years ago in Glasgow, Scotland under the direction of Maureen Lynch Greene. In 1962, the school relocated to Boston MA, where her daughter and granddaughters are still teaching now. Since then, our school has worked to promote Irish Culture through dance. Over the years, the school has attained many awards in regional, national and world championship competitions, having won two first place titles in the All World Championships in Ireland as well as other placements in World Competition.

In 2007, our founder Maureen Greene was presented the Gradam Award at the World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. The Gradam award is presented to those who have spent a lifetime working diligently to safeguard and preserve An rince Gaelacha and also to acknowledge and appreciate their contribution to An Coimisiun.

Greene-O'Leary provides a great environment to learn for both competitive and non-competitive dancers.

While dancers are encouraged to compete, it is not a requirement. There are many opportunities for dancers who would like to perform as part of the school dance team.

Our dancers perform at various cultural and social events throughout the year.

We hold classes in Needham, Westwood, & Milton, & Arlington for boys and girls ages 4 and up, Beginner through Championship level.

We love working with dancers of all levels and abilities, and support all of our dancers to achieve their highest potential.

The Greene-O'Leary School is registered with An Coimisiun Le Rince Gaelacha,

the North American Irish Dancing Teachers Association and

the New England Regional Irish Dancing Association.
