"Finally....was the first word I said when I arrived at studio2stage on Day one.
I have heard about s2s since I first started Irish dance because the dancer I looked up to always danced with s2s. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I absolutely loved every second of each day while working with the choreographers, musicians and with Miss Michelle.
On stage is where I find I belong and excel! This was one of the greatest experiences I have had as a dancer in my young career. I now know being on stage as a professional dancer is where I am suppose to be and I can't wait to dance again for s2s!
Thank you again to the FABULOUS musicians, Choreographers, and Miss Michelle for the amazing opportunity to be apart of something so great!
I highly recommend if you love Irish dance and love watching the crowds faces light up as you dance on stage, s2s will help you to be an even better performer and you get to work alongside other amazing dancers and work with some of the BEST in the business!

Wow...... to say my experience at studio2stage was incredible is an understatement. I am finishing the past 9 days with memories that I will cherish and will last a lifetime! I have certainly grown as a dancer, performer and person and I am forever grateful for my time at s2s.
After only 9 days we put on a full production and that alone speaks for itself! The hard work, creativity and ambition of the choreographers Andy, Aidan, Miriam and Colm, the organisation and drive of Michelle, Barry and all of the rest of the team, made what seemed an insurmountable task of a full show within a week become truly possible and extraordinary. Everyone worked tirelessly to create a professional show and the encouragement, dedication and enthusiasm within each individual made each day of rehearsals so exciting and unique.
Dancing and performing in Times Square and on stage at the Wilkins Theatre was an incredible opportunity, one that I can still hardly wrap my head around. The audience and live band including the one and only Anton & Sully really added to the exciting, electric atmosphere and created 2 unforgettable moments. We definitely had such an insight into the life of a professional dancer and performer through this and everything else, including the preparations that happened behind the scenes. I didn't even think this was possible but s2s enhanced my love and adoration for Irish dancing. I have made amazing friends and had endless fun! s2s pushed me out of my comfort zone in terms of performing and providing entertainment for an audience so I feel that it is brilliant preparation for anyone who is interested in dancing in shows in the future. s2s was everything I could have asked for and more, surpassing all my expectations to make it the most rewarding week ever! The cast members, team and all involved are some of the most disciplined, kind, inspirational people I have ever met and I feel privileged to have been apart of studio2stage 2022!
Thank you endlessly for everyone for making this experience happen. I am forever grateful for s2s! It was the best week of my life without a doubt and I can't recommend it enough!
I have also just been invited to perform at my first studio2stage Dance Company corporate in Dublin this Saturday. The excitement continues…

I want to thank all involved for the amazing week at studio2stage.
It was a truly incredible experience and I loved every minute of it! I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to work with such talented musicians, choreographers and dancers.
A huge thank you to the team that work behind the scenes. From sorting out all of our costumes to setting up our breakfast every morning, we would have been lost without you!
To Michelle and Barry, thank you so much for running such an amazing programme. I learnt so much about what it’s like to be involved in a production.
I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience it and I would encourage any passionate dancer or musician to get involved.

This was my first year at studio2stage and it definitely exceeded my expectations and I am delighted to have been apart of something so special.
I learnt what it takes to put on a show in such a short amount of time and all of the hard work that goes into it.
studio2stage has confirmed my love to pursue a career in show dancing and inspired me even more.
Thank you to the incredible team for working tirelessly to help us be fully prepared for show day and for making it the best it can be.
It is extremely hard work, but the feeling you get when you first step on stage makes it all so so worth it.
I cried so many happy tears after the finale, knowing that it had all paid off. I have never felt so much joy while performing on stage, I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time!
Thank you to the incredible choreographers who helped me grow so much as a dancer and gain more confidence in my dancing. It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with you all.
I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity and to get the perfect insight into the performing life of Irish Dancing. I have made friends for life and memories that will last forever. I would highly recommend s2s to any dancers who are looking to pursue a career in show dancing and want to learn exactly what it takes.
Thank you all so so much, I am forever grateful?

studio2stage 2022- the best experience of my life.
I don’t know where to begin about how grateful I am to have been apart of the production of “THATS DANCING” in New Jersey.
s2s has given me so much in such little time, I have made friends for life and the best memories, I have now built a confidence in myself and in my dancing that I never thought I would have.
For the last 10 days I have been surrounded by the best choreographers, stage crew, light directors, musicians and dancers that I’ve ever met and because of each and everyone of them my love for Irish dance has grown even more.
To Miriam, Aidan, Andy and Colm thank you for believing in us that we would put on an amazing show and thank you for the hard work and patience that you’s have had over the last week and a half you are all truly amazing people, Michelle and Barry thank you for putting this amazing show together and making my dream of performing to a huge audience a reality.
To Anton and Sully you are both extremely talented musicians and the show wouldn’t be what it is without your talents and passion for music. s2s was my first professional dance experience and I hope it won’t be the last.
I am counting down the days until 2023 so I can be surrounded by all these amazing people again.
I can’t thank everyone involved enough. My younger self would be so proud✨??

This was my first year at studio2stage and it was definitely the best week of my life so far.
I met so many inspiring people and friends from all over the world and learned from the best of the best choreographers.
I don’t think i’ve ever cried so many happy tears in the space of a week.
From the choreography to the live music to the people you are surrounded by, it was all just incredible.
I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to be a part of something so amazing and see New York.
I would 100% recommend studio2stage to anyone who just loves Irish Dancing, performing or playing music.
