The Greene Academy of Irish Dancing was established in 1993, and is under the direction of Sondra Greene ADCRG.  

Sondra Greene is a  fully accredited teacher qualified by the Irish Dancing Commission, Dublin, Ireland.  In addition, Sondra has also received certification as an Irish Dance adjudicator.  Sondra judges competitions at local, regional, and national levels throughout the United States and Canada. 

In 1993 the school began in a small garage with 8 students. It has now grown to over 150 students in two locations.  The students of the Greene Academy participate in dancing competitions throughout North America including major championships such as the North American Irish  Dance Championships and the World Championships.

The philosophy of the Greene Academy is to impart a love of Irish dancing and culture.  Through weekly lessons, dancers are guided towards improvement in skill and technique and challenged to perform in various competitions.  Equally important to the student's enjoyment of dancing, is the establishment of friendships among the dancers, and learning to support each other and work as a team. Team dancing, such as figure dancing, figure choreography and dance drama, are emphasized in addition to solo dancing.

Dancers from the Greene Academy are available for entertainment at parties, weddings, dances, and special events. Contact Sondra for more information.

The Greene Academy of Irish Dancing offers traditional step dancing classes from young children to adults. Classes are held at the Greene Academy Studio in San Jose and also in Palo Alto.
