Welcome to the McInerney School of Irish Step Dancing. Mary McInerney-Zona TCRG is the founder and Director of The McInerney School of Irish Step Dance. She is a certified teacher with An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (The Irish Dancing Commission), IDTANA, and IDTANE and a former Irish step dancing champion. She has been involved in Irish dancing since the age of 4, winning numerous regional and national awards and attending world championships in Ireland. "Mary Mac" began her study of Irish step dance in New York City under the instruction of Anna O'Sullivan (ADCRG,TCRG). Mary danced with the O'Sullivan School of Irish Dancing through 1977. From there, Mary moved to New England where continued her education in Irish dance with the Michael Smith Academy in Boston. Mary established the McInerney School in 1983 and has been teaching Irish dance in Central Massachusetts for over 20 years. Her school currently has hundreds of dancers, many of whom compete at Feiseanna throughout the country, and perform at events in the region year round. Mary, the mother of two, (Dillon age 8 & Keeley age 7), resides in Shrewsbury, with her husband Bob. She has been active throughout the community and with her school has received many awards for her dedication to preserving the tradition of Irish step dance. Her most recent awards include the St Patrick's Parade Good Citizenship Award and the Worcester County Firefighters Pipe & Drum Award. Mary continues to share her love for Irish step dance with her many students, still teaching every class herself. Assistant Instructor(s) Although Mary teaches every class, she has the support of her parents John & Bridget, her family and many of her high level dancers. Clare McInerney-Gentilucci, along with her sister Ann and brother Sean danced with Mary over the years. Former champion dancers themselves, they have helped promote the Irish tradition and have brought light-hearted enjoyment to many of our events. Clare has been assisting Mary in class, feiseanna and performances since 1993. More advanced and experienced McInerney dancers assist in many of the classes at each location to allow for more individualized attention at all levels. Mary will be going through a chemotherapy program, much like last year. Mary and her family continue to appreciate your love, prayers and support. (3/08) |
