The Killarney story

More than dance. A tradition that shapes people.

Killarney was established in 2009 by Carly Allen Throckmorton, ADCRG—a certified Irish dance instructor and adjudicator (TCRG/ADCRG) with An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), based in Dublin, Ireland. Carly is also a member of the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America and its Western US Region.

From beginner through Open Championship, Killarney pairs comprehensive instruction with intentionally small class sizes. Every dancer receives the individual attention needed to master proper technique and choreography and reach their fullest potential.

  • Beginner through Open Championship
  • TCRG / ADCRG certified leadership
  • IDTANA and Western US Region member
  • Small classes and individual attention
