Welcome to the Rochez Academy of Irish Dance
The Rochez Academy of Irish Dance was established in 1994 by Eilis M. Rochez-McKenna, TCRG. The Academy cultivates an attitude of confidence and self-esteem in each of its dancers, while passing on a piece of Irish culture and tradition. It is Eilis' hope that her dancers learn to be truly giving people while they learn to dance. Not only do the dancers participate in competitions, but they also devote time to community service performing in nursing homes, churches, Hospice, the Blind Association, Roswell Park, and schools.
Instruction in individual (solo) and group dances from Beginner to Champion levels are available, and are forming now at these locations:
Harlem Road Community Center
4255 Harlem Road, Snyder NY
Zion United Church of Christ
15 Koenig Circle, Tonawanda NY
Rochez Academy at David DeMarie Dance Studios
9135 Sheridan Drive, Clarence NY
