Irwin Academy of Irish Dance, Columbus

Katie Irwin-Henry has been an Irish dancer since she was five. She studied with John Timm, who retired after winning the title of Senior Men's World Champion—the highest level in the world of Irish dancing. Katie went on to compete at regional, national, and world championship levels before landing a gig with Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance. Katie traveled with the cast throughout the U.S., as well as Australia, Canada, and Mexico. Later in her career, Katie toured with the Trinity Irish Dance Company throughout Japan and Costa Rica. Now retired from the stage, this T.C.R.G.-certified instructor shares her knowledge and experience with her students.
