About
Scariff Locklier Leonelli School of Irish Dance offers Irish dance training that includes competitive step dancing, social ceili dancing, performances, and competitions. Students take part in activities such as St. Patrick’s Day parades, world-class performances, exclusive workshops, an annual summer camp, and an annual fall show.
• Ages: 4–18 years old
• Schedule: Class options are available on weekdays and some Saturdays, with beginner through championship-level and adult classes offered in multiple studios.
For over 20 years, Scariff School of Irish Dance has been a premier destination for Irish dance training. The teaching staff consists of accredited instructors and adjudicators certified by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG) in Dublin, Ireland, and all teachers undergo background checks through Assurint and B.C.I. The leadership team includes Stephen C. Scariff (T.C.R.G, A.D.C.R.G, B.C.R.G) and Michelle Locklier (T.C.R.G). Stephen C. Scariff is an accredited Irish dance teacher and certified ADCRG adjudicator, created the show Irish Dance Invasion which broke box office records and toured across Europe, established Irish dance schools in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, and currently serves as the President of the Western U.S. Regional Council.
The school’s main studios use a professionally built sprung wooden floor with special cushioning under the wooden grid and a non slip dance marley on top. Scariff dancers consistently place in the Top 5 at major Irish dance championships, including the World Championships, and have earned numerous regional and national titles, placing in the top five at the North American, All Ireland, All Scotland, Great Britain, and World Championships. Scariff dancers appear in competitions, St. Patrick’s Day parades, world-class performances, and exclusive workshops, and the school participates in performances, competitions, and community events. The program offers structured options for recreational classes, competition training, and elite performance opportunities, including championship-level training. The school hosts an annual summer camp with guest instructors from Ireland and an annual fall show featuring Celtic violinist Mairead Nesbitt and other Irish music icons. Weekend workshops are held to refine technique and boost confidence, and the program uses Stack Team App for communication and updates. Students are advised to order a class uniform and school apparel, and the teacher provides the link to place the order.
