Welcome to All Irish Dance CLG
All Irish Dance, founded by Carmel McKenna is an award-winning not-for-profit social enterprise tackling isolation and loneliness by increasing participation in inclusive, adaptive Irish céilí (pronounced ‘kay-lee’) dance activities for all ages, all levels and all abilities in local communities and care settings.
We provide evidence-based training to people, with or without prior experience, to empower them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead our first-of-a-kind inclusive adaptive céilí dance programmes for older adults and people with physical, cognitive and/or sensory disabilities and conditions including, but not limited to:
- Céilí Recall © (for older adults)
- Reels on Wheels © (for wheelchair users)
- Some Dance to Remember © (for people living with dementia and their support networks)
- Y-Céilí © (for tweens, teens and young adults).
