Reviews of Beglan Academy of Irish Dance

Melissa Kate

Sean Beglan is not only an amazing dance teacher, but also an incredible mentor. His positivity and encouragement has helped to transform my children in a way that has allowed them to not only develop new confidence as dancers, but also as individuals; something that will last well after the dance shoes have been retired. His ability to help his students positively navigate through successes as well as disappointments is truly wonderful. Sean perfectly balances keeping my dancers competition ready, with challenging technique and exciting choreography, while also finding ways to keep things fun. Our non competition, performance opportunities have also been so much fun! The support, friendships and memories we have experienced at Beglan are things that will remain with our family for a lifetime. Absolute A + school.

My daughters have been dancing at Beglan for over 7 years. They have taken different paths competitively and they have both felt very supported and encouraged by their teachers, as well as the older dancers. We have an amazing group of dance friends who have become like family. We look forward to many more adventures and fun times with them!

We signed our son up for beginner lessons at Beglan after receiving a recommendation from a friend whose daughter danced there. Almost 4 years later, we remain big fans of Sean and Beglan Academy! We've been so pleased with our son's teachers and his experiences at this school. He loves Irish dancing and has consistently been supported to improve and go after his goals. I love that Beglan Academy has a supportive and accepting environment.

Our daughter fell in love with Irish dance after watching some young ladies come out and dance at a Chieftains concert. Sean's schedule was full but he was touched by her story, and she began to take lessons at Beglan, with girls much younger than her. She loved the dances and instruction, and, though she was at first well behind, received special attention and encouragement that allowed her to move up quickly, so that now she successfully competes. Our daughter loves the teachers, and we enjoy the welcome extended by the whole Beglan community. This is a wonderful institution.

My daughter has been dancing with Beglan for 4 years now. We have been so happy with the high quality instruction and support she has experienced there from day one to the present. Sean Beglan takes great pride in meeting students' and families' needs. Sean sets a tone of community in his school that is second to none. We can always get questions answered every step of the way. We also love the size of Beglan. It's just the right size so that no dancers get "lost in the crowd" like I've seen in other schools. Our daughter recently said she "loves to challenge herself to do her best". Learning Irish dance at Beglan has been an integral piece of that positive attitude! We highly recommend Beglan Academy of Irish Dance.

Beglan Academy of Irish Dance has been a blessing to our family! I have written several emails with Sean and the instructors thanking them for their leadership and would like to take time today to share on Facebook too! Here are several reasons: The Professional Quality: Sean is a professional Irish dancer and shares his experiences and talent with the students. This is a large part of the value! The standard that is set for the students is not only the best but also attainable through his consistent coaching. If at any time students need some extra attention on steps or form they are separated into another classroom with another instructor to work on those steps. The teacher/student ratio is excellent! At other dance schools I have noticed that the owner/professional isn't involved in all the classes (especially the beginners) but this is not the case at Beglan Academy. My daughter began lessons there around 5 years old and Sean has been there since day one. I see his involvement with all of the classes. This is rare and something I value immensely! Performances range from program recitals, Irish Fest, news shows, to dancing in Irish restaurants/pubs and malls. All of the performances are done with professional quality and yet flexible/light hearted approach that allows the dancers to be confident in a supportive environment. The Flexibility and Understanding: Sean listens to the dancers and the families. If not in the studio instructing, you can find Sean talking with families in the hall ways. There are windows that look in each practice studio for parents to view the instruction and progress of their child. Occasionally Sean invites parents into the studio to give us more insight and give the students an audience. This is one of my favorite parts! After class, if my daughter has something to improve on or has done better on something she can articulate what those things are. This tells me the teachers are communicating these things to her and have her best at mind. Further, I have never felt pressured to sign my child up for competitions or events. There is plenty to be involved in but Sean and the teachers inform the families and leave the amount of commitment up to the family. If we don’t want to take part in a competition or have to miss out on St. Patrick performances (my husband’s busiest time of year at work) the teachers understand and are more than reasonable. The Pricing/Affordability: The value we receive for the rate of lessons is exceptional! We drive a long distance to attend Beglan Academy. Why? Because I have gone to similar extra curricular activities and find this to be the best value worth our investment. Sean is sensitive to the high costs that can come from new shoes, costumes, and competitions. Beglan Academy meets the needs of families by having “used” item sales throughout the year and Clan Beglan (the board) also have multiple fundraising events/programs throughout the year that help keep costs down. Clan Beglan also shares a newsletter to keep the dance families up to date with all the events and opportunities their child can participate in. The Community and Culture: The families that make up Beglan Academy are super supportive and are a treasure of information. During practice I often talk with other parents and glean from their tips and experience. There is a great sense of encouragement from each other. Our kids aren’t competing with one another but are a team! This is so refreshing. Also, the Irish culture that permeates the performances and instruction is fantastic. I love that my daughter is learning Irish culture. It enhances her understanding of the art! Thank you again to the Beglan Academy instructors and families!

5.0 star rating Wow! I can't think of a better family-owned and inclusive school for my 2 dancers. There's a fantastic parent board that organizes fun social events and welcomes new families with open arms. The top notch instruction and training, led by Sean and Chelsea, both TCRG accredited, is engaging and rigorous, exactly what my dancers want. There is full transparency on schedule changes well in advance, frequent and clear communication, and the opportunities to perform in the Milwaukee community are abundant. We are so pleased with our experience at Beglan, I highly recommend this school to all Irish dancers of all ages in the Milwaukee area!

We moved here recently from another school and couldn't be happier. Sean is supportive but also pushes the dancers to be their best in a way that focuses on growth and makes the experience positive. Our daughter loves dance again. Costs are better than some others and atmosphere is supportive. Definitely recommend this school regardless of level.

I have been at Beglan Academy since 2007 and have loved every year here. I couldn't ask for or dream of better and more motivating instructors. Every single class or private lesson I have attended they both are fully committed to helping me become a better dancer. I choose to spend almost everyday at the studio because it is where I can be myself and where I grow the most as a person. Sean and Chelsea not only have made me the dancer I am today, they teach me incredibly important life lessons. I have learned to lose graciously and Sean always encourages me to wish good luck and congratulations to the other dancers in every competition I attend. He is so welcoming and when moving into a new class or even into the school as a new dancer, Sean helps them feel at home. Chelsea has taught me the value and importance of hard work. With her help I have developed a good work ethic and know that if I want something bad enough I will have work for it. They have both provided me with amazing opportunities such as a trip to Ireland for the Riverdance Summer School. Without their help I know I wouldn't have been able to go or be where I am today. My hard work has payed off and I am now assistant teaching Tuesday and Thursday nights. I get the chance to work with incredible people like Callie, Riva, and Sam. They are amazing role models and I hope to be like them when I am older. However, the people I look up to the most are Sean and Chelsea. They inspire me every day to do my best and I can't imagine better role models than they are. I wouldn't trade my years at Beglan for anything and hope to continue to be a part of the Beglan Academy family forever.

Great friendly teachers. My kids love doing Irish dance here. Can't help but to get to know other parents and be welcome to the group.

We have never experienced a more family like establishment. the costs are in line with on ther schools if not better. Irish dance isn't cheap anywhere you go. Sean is a fantastic role model.
