Irish Dancing Brings Self-Confidence and Team Spirit to Tully's Students

A combination of colorful costumes and endless talent make the Sheila Tully School of Irish Dance a must-see spectacle for the whole family at this year’s Ethnic Arts Festival.

Sheila Tully and her Irish dance academy can easily be considered a second family for many. Not only has she instructed Irish dancing for over 40 years, but she has also instilled basic skills like self-confidence, discipline, and team spirit into each talented student. Tully is a former champion Irish dancer and began teaching in her mother’s basement in Chicago. She specializes in early education, and has always had a knack for patiently instructing students as young as four years old the fundamentals of Irish dancing. It’s because of her concern with each child’s learning needs that has led her to develop a brilliant group of talented students that have accomplished countless accolades across the nation.

From performing at the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Chicago to being featured in the hit movie “The Fugitive” to competing in the World Championships in Ireland, Tully’s school has achieved so much over the past 40 years, and we are thrilled to have them perform on Sunday July 20th at 1:00 pm at the picturesque Dawes Park!
