LYONS ACADEMY OF IRISH DANCE
Irish Step Dance

The Lyons Academy of Irish Dance offers a learning environment where dancers develop coordination, rhythm, grace, personal achievement, teamwork and confidence through the art of traditional Irish step-dance. With a strong emphasis on proper technique and development of skill, dancers can further their dance experience through participation in performance and competition opportunities throughout the year. Classes encourage and ignite interest in the dancers to reach their potential through positive coaching and reinforcement.

Our Instructor
Meredith Lyons, T.C.R.G., is the owner and lead instructor of Lyons Academy of Irish Dance. A Long Beach, California native, Meredith’s dance journey began in 1993 with classes in San Pedro and Orange County. During her competitive career, she qualified five times for the prestigious World Irish Dance Championships, competing both in solo and team events.

While competing, Meredith discovered her passion for teaching, co-instructing alongside her mentor, Doireann Maoileidigh-Hoy. Her performance highlights include dancing with the band “Men of Worth,” a featured spot on “Jib Jab Media,” and an appearance on the hit TV show “Scrubs.”

In 2006, Meredith graduated from California State University Long Beach and retired from competition after her final appearance at the 2007 World Championships. She then dedicated herself to earning her T.C.R.G. certification, and in 2010, founded Lyons Academy of Irish Dance. Today, Meredith shares her love of Irish dance with students of all ages and skill levels.
