Introducing our fabulous Dublin based dancers - Dublin is buzzing with excitement as a talented group of 27 Dublin dancers have secured spots in the Irish National Youth Ballet (INYB), despite tough competition from almost 200 young dancers and just 47 contracts in total being handed out. This vibrant ensemble will represent the capital in The Nutcracker, the closing event of INYB’s 30th anniversary performances this December.

Dublin boasts strong representation from Clonsilla, Swords, Drumcondra, Glenageary, and beyond. We are fortunate in Dublin to have fantastic dance teachers nurturing this exceptional talent, including Clare Connolly, Emma & Sara Gannon, Agata Yusupova, Emma Mahony, Elizabeth Ennis, Nicola Farcas, Aine McNamara, Karen O’Hara, Rachel Goode, Debbie Allen, and Karen Williams.
