Under the direction of Joe Moriarty, a TCRG-certified Irish dance instructor and former principal dancer with Riverdance, we are committed to instilling strong foundational technique, musicality, and discipline in every student—whether they aspire to compete at the highest levels or share the joy of Irish dance through performance.
As a TCRG (Teagascóir Choimisiúin le Rinci Gaelacha), certified through An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG)—the world’s oldest and most prestigious Irish dance governing body based in Dublin, Ireland—Joe brings elite training and international standards into every class. This ensures that all students at Moriarty Irish Dance receive instruction that is both authentic and of the highest quality.

We proudly foster a supportive and passionate community where dancers of all ages can grow in confidence, express themselves creatively, and celebrate the enduring beauty of Irish heritage—both on stage and in competition.

Originating in Ireland, Irish dancing is a traditional dance form that includes both social and performance opportunities. It encompasses a wide variety of styles for solo, pair and group dances.
Many people think of step dancing, such as that associated with the popular Riverdance, when they think of Irish dancing. However, this type of dancing includes many dances and variations of these dances that can be enjoyed and mastered beginning at a very young age.
