Meet Cathleen Dower

The Fitzgerald School of Irish Dance was founded by Cathleen Dower in 2013. Cathleen started dancing at the age of 5, taking classes in everything from ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical. At the age of 12 she saw the Broadway performance of Riverdance and shortly thereafter she made the transition to strictly dancing Irish Step.

“Such a great place! My 4 year old started earlier this year and absolutely loves it. Miss Cathleen is such a great teacher, and the older kids there are so helpful with the younger kids. Highly recommend!.”
