Why Irish dancing in our academy

Cunningham Academy of Irish Dance Sofia has been running for over 10 years. Here, you will meet kindred spirits with lively personalities and a shared passion for Irish music and culture. We open the doors to endless fun — you can attend performances by our advanced dancers in Sofia's clubs, travel across Europe for competitions (feis), and discover incredible events like balls, workshops, and collaborations with other dance schools. And why not become part of the academy's show group and conquer different stages!
