Welcome to the Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy Family Blog!
My name is Genevieve Ryan, and I am the Owner and Program Director of Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy (GRDA). Dance and Yoga have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, giving me a unique philosophy toward what dance can be.
The spirit of GDRA is expanding. This blog is here to bring the joy, benefits, and message of dance into your home, family, and community! It will offer opportunities for continued learning and connecting with your children (dancers or not)! This blog is for everyone!
If you’re new, here’s what you need to know about us.
Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy, Galway
The dedicated staff at Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy unlock each dancer’s full potential with skills & technique while nurturing the creative possibilities within them and their teammates.
Our students’ dance training enriches their lives with physical and mental fitness, greater emotional awareness and tools to help them maintain their mental wellness. They will carry what they’ve learned far beyond the bounds of the studio’s mirrored walls.
Dance education aids in the development of overall body positivity and appreciation. At GRDA students learn to fully appreciate their body and all the beautiful things it allows them to do. Our dance programs promote health, well-being, creativity and self-love.
We aim to share our philosophy of dance with students through excellent technical instruction, emotional support and encouragement.
