irish dance
reimagined

OUR MISSION IS TO KEEP IRISH DANCE MOVING FORWARD. 

Our company was formed to give Irish dancers the creative means to perform new and exciting works, and to educate and inspire our community with the power and passion of Irish dance. 

Based in Brooklyn and embodying the hustle, culture and drive of our forefathers, we create new works as a collaborative community of dancers to break traditional boundaries and engage audiences with innovative and accessible performances of Irish dance and music.

creating new work for new york since 2018.

Our original, mainstage productions have been seen Off-Broadway and throughout the Northeast, bringing incredible Irish dancing, beautiful storytelling and lively traditional Irish music to NYC and beyond.

Building community through dance.

With GAYLI™, we’re holding local ceilis for all dancers, regardless of gender identity, age, or experience. And with performances for all communities in NYC, we’re creating a space for everyone to feel the magic of Irish dance.
