The Hegarty Irish Dance Academy achieved significant success at the An Chomhdháil Munster Irish Dancing Championships 2025, held recently at the Towers Hotel in Waterford.

The highlight of the weekend was the victory secured by Isabelle Hindle in the U14 Munster Open Championship, earning her the title of Munster Champion.
The academy’s dancers, guided by teachers Maureen and Lisa Hegarty, performed strongly across various competitions, returning home with a large number of trophies and medals. Both teachers expressed great pride in their students' achievements, highlighting the team spirit and enthusiasm displayed by every dancer throughout the weekend.
"We’re thrilled with how our dancers performed," said Maureen and Lisa. "We couldn’t ask for a better reflection of what our academy stands for.”
With bases in Killarney and Cork, the Hegarty Irish Dance Academy offers both competitive and recreational classes to dancers of all ages and abilities.
Looking ahead, the academy is focusing on upcoming competitions and events. Most notably, Isabelle Hindle and Máire Lynch will represent the Hegarty Irish Dance Academy at the World Irish Dancing Championships. This prestigious event will take place at the INEC, Killarney, over Easter 2025.
