About The Young Academy

Founded in 2009 under the direction of Janice Young, TCRG ADCRG, The Young Academy is a proud member of An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA), and the Irish Dance Teachers Association of Canada – Eastern Region.

What began as a single location in Verdun has grown into a vibrant and thriving school with classes now offered in Ormstown, NDG, and Westmount. In addition, we’ve expanded our reach with online classes across Quebec and Prince Edward Island, making our programs more accessible than ever.

​

We offer high-quality instruction for both recreational and competitive dancers. Our competitive students participate in events year-round across Canada and the United States, with many going on to represent the Academy at prestigious competitions such as the Eastern Canadian Oireachtas, North American Championships, All Ireland Championships, All Scotland Championships, and the World Championships, in both solo and team categories.

​

To support dancers who cannot attend in person, our online platform offers the same standard of instruction, allowing students to access classes, feedback, and training from anywhere.

The Young Academy is also deeply committed to community engagement. Our dancers proudly volunteer at events throughout the year and participate in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in both Montreal and Châteauguay. Our performance troupe is available for hire at community, corporate, or private events.

​

In August 2019, we proudly hosted our first feis at John Abbott College and have continued to a host a feis yearly.
