You are invited to support and participate in (dance, or come watch) fun events with Niall O’Leary and dancers from the Niall O’Leary School of Irish Dance!
Performing is great fun and always a great experience: I hope you are available for many of these shows.
Please note that sign-up for each performance closes at 12 noon TWO DAYS before each event!
Thanks to everyone who invited us to perform, and helped co-ordinate all this info!
If you have any other ideas for a performance or know anywhere else looking for an Irish dance performance, please let us know and please introduce us!
And a big thanks to everyone who has signed up to perform already!
Please don’t delay: sign-up today!
Let us know asap which performances you can do ASAP!
Please sign-up via email with the subject line RSVP NOL EVENTS 2025 and include:
Full Name of Dancer at top of email and YES, NO or WATCH after each event:
YES means you or your dancer(s) are dancing!
WATCH means you are coming to watch!
NO means you or your dancer(s) are not available.
Please be sure to include the NAME of each show in your reply beside YES or NO.
You are welcome to email more than once: however, your most recent email must contain all the info, i.e. you must include ALL information in your most recent email! The best way to do this is to cut and paste!
Don’t be a Big Time Charlie and just do the big events: the smaller events are fun too!
Newer dancers / families are invited to participate in certain events, and to come and WATCH other events, but please read the entire document so you know what to expect when you become part of the more experienced dancers’ group!
Please note:
All dancers must arrive ON TIME: times listed below are performance times,
For ALL events, the call time is ONE HOUR before the performance time, meaning that you must be at the actual performance space, or the meeting spot if different ONE HOUR before the performance starts, not getting off the train or parking the car! This gives everyone time to get ready, run over steps, be relaxed and have a GREAT performance!
Class schedule is NOT affected by any of these events: if you have your regular class on during any of the performances, you are expected to attend class and NOT the performance, you can do a performance at a time when someone else has class instead!
All dancers must have the correct shoes and costuming items for all performances: Please see our new COSTUMING INFO page for all costuming info!
The list contains ALL the info on ALL the shows that we are doing: If you are not sure what shows are meant for you, please ask before or after class, or send an email! EVERYONE is invited to dance in the Parades!
Also some of these shows are open to the public, so if you are not performing you could come and watch: going to watch a show can be an exhilarating and inspiring experience, particularly if you know some people in the show! My mother only ever went to see an Irish dance performance if I was dancing in it: I do NOT RECOMMEND this attitude!
IMPORTANT: If you are not available, please tell us as well, so that we can ask someone else instead!
Once you sign-up, you may be sent a separate email for each performance closer to the day with the choreography: keep referring to this page as your master list with all the info!
