The Leneghan Academy was founded in 1992 by Catherine Leneghan. Catherine learned her first steps from
Tessie Burke and after many years continued her dance education with Bob Masterson. Along the way she had the
opportunity to study with a variety of prestigious instructors both at home and abroad. Taking her Irish roots
from Ballycroy, Tourmakeady and Islandeady, Mayo, she was steeped in Irish tradition from early on. Catherine's
involvement in the Irish community extended to the local Irish American Clubs, the Cleveland Irish Players and the
GAA-Cleveland St. Pat's Ladies Irish football team. She is certified as a teacher and adjudicator of Irish dance
and is fully accredited through Dublin, Ireland as well as the regional and national associations. This permits any
of her students to compete in feiseanna throughout the world.
Accomplishments:
- Qualified dancers to regional/national and World level competitions.
- Choreography of the dance number in 3 different productions of "Dancing at Lughnasa" one which was
performed 7 time in Ireland.
- Students have performed with a variety of well know Irish Artists.
- Successful outreach program - taking the show on the road to nursing and assisted living homes,
classrooms and libraries
