"It was really important to me to find a place where my girls could dance and feel a sense of family and supportiveness and none of the harsh competitive spirit (not to mention body shaming) present elsewhere in the dance world.  Irish Dance at Brightburn Academy has been a pleasant surprise and we have really appreciated the inclusiveness, friendly environment, and kind and patient instructors.  Highly recommend!"

-Jill K., Dance Parent

"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Brightburn Academy of Irish Dance!  Kate Padilla is an incredible teacher & person--so patient, kind, fun with the kids, & talented--and being a part of Brightburn has been such a blessing to our family.  My girls look forward to their dance classes every week.  The performances are fun and the community is great.  Highly recommend!"

"As a parent, I am immensely grateful for the positive impact Brightburn Academy has had on my daughter's life beyond the dance floor.  The studio's commitment to instilling discipline, perseverance, and a strong work ethic has had a profound influence on her character development.  She has learned the value of dedication, resilience, and the rewards that come from consistent effort and determination.  My only regret is that we did not find Brightburn Academy sooner."
