A former All-Ireland and World Champion dancer from Dublin, Niall O’Leary has spent the last three decades as a cornerstone of the New York City cultural landscape. 2026 marks a milestone 30-year anniversary of the Niall O’Leary School of Irish Dance in NYC, a legacy that has expanded to include vibrant locations in Florida, Mississippi, and Mexico. But Niall’s creative reach extends far beyond the dance floor; a registered architect by trade, he approaches both building design and choreography with a shared sense of precision and artistry. Whether he is adjudicating at an Irish Feis, performing as a master musician, or directing his professional Irish Dance Troupe, Niall remains dedicated to a single mission: inspiring a global community through the rhythmic intersection of music, movement, and design.
