Featured Student Journeys

After her first lesson, my daughter said the school felt like home

We are so lucky we found Miss Colleen and Mrs. Murphy when we did.  Our former dance school had closed 2 years ago, and we looked into a couple of schools and could not find the right fit.  Luckily, a friend of a friend referred us to Mrs. Murphy and Miss Colleen, and after her first lesson, my daughter said the school ‘felt like home.’  It has been such a pleasure to watch my daughter progress this past year!  She has found such a wonderful place to learn and grow – she absolutely loves Miss Colleen and her fellow dancers!  I now have my little one dancing at D’Arcy and she looks forward to class every week 🙂

She has become more confident, has made great friends, and most importantly found her passion

I feel so blessed that we were in the right place at the right time when we met Miss Colleen. This wonderful group has changed my daughters life. She has become more confident, has made great friends, and most importantly found her passion. She didn’t start dancing until she was 10 1/2 years old, and has come so far in a short time. I recommend this amazing school to everyone I meet.

My daughter is having a blast learning new steps and loves to show us what she has learned

My daughter’s friend told her how much fun she was having at Irish Dance and invited my daughter join in the fun. Miss Colleen gave us her business card, and we started dancing. My daughter is having a blast learning new steps and loves to show us what she has learned. Miss Colleen is well organized, professional, and an expert instructor. We are so glad our friends recommended Colleen to us.

We are so happy to be a part of such a wonderful dance school

Becoming an Irish dancer has been so wonderful for my daughter! It has truly become her passion! We are so happy to be a part of such a wonderful dance school with such a wonderful teacher, Colleen Nicosia, and so many great dance families!!

We had a great first year here!

We are looking forward to many more Colleen. My daughter has learned so much and truly enjoys it here. What a lovely group of people!

This is a great Irish Dance School!

This is a great Irish Dance School! My daughter enjoys dancing and has gained so much confidence in herself through the years working with Patrica Murphy and now Colleen Nicosia!  Hoping for many more great years together!

Colleen is the epitome of hard work, dedication and caring. She is a mentor, a teacher, a coach and always makes you feel like family.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Colleen and her sisters for 15 years. Colleen is the epitome of hard work, dedication and caring. She brings so much more to these kids lives than just dance. She is a mentor, a teacher, a coach and always makes you feel like family.  I could go on and on about her ability as an Irish dance teacher but the proof is in all of the awards her students continue to recieve.  If you’re looking for something a little more than just dance lessons The D’Arcy School is the place to be.

She has brought my daughter from a beginner to a champion dancer when my daughter was ready for it.

Whether dancing is a hobby for you or a competitive sport Ms Colleen will be happy to teach you. She has brought my daughter from a beginner to a champion dancer when my daughter was ready for it. She has a way with the kids that they just want to keep coming back to class and learning. I have loved to see the girls and the school grow to what it has become today. This has been a fantastic fit for our family. Can’t wait to continue on this journey with the D’Arcy School.

We love Miss Colleen!! So happy we found this school.

Can’t say enough good things about this school. Low pressure, lots of fun for the little ones just starting out, but with more options when my daughter got more serious. She’s been dancing since she was 4 and loves loves loves it. We love Miss Colleen!! So happy we found this school.

There is nothing better than the glowing face of a student who has overcome and mastered a challenge. This is something we witness regularly. 

For someone to be a true teacher, they are blessed with a rare and natural gift.  Anyone can recite instructions to another person.  It takes someone truly gifted to take a student who is insecure or frustrated while learning new, challenging steps and make the experience fun while increasing the self-confidence of the dancer.  In the end, they always get those steps right and feel so proud and accomplished when they do. Why? Because of the positive encouraging effect of their teacher. There is nothing better than the glowing face of a student who has overcome and mastered a challenge. This is something we witness regularly. 

When at a competition, the team spirit of our dancers for each other is unmatched.

In addition to the guidance of their teacher, the D’Arcy family is just that……a family. We are NOT Dance Moms. We strive to encourage, support and applaud each other’s children and their achievements. As moms, dads, siblings, etc., we do the same for each other. We all gladly take part in assisting in our school’s fund raisers, Feis and other annual events for the love of our school and our extended dance family. Older students help younger students and all ages gladly work together and “play” together. When at a competition, the team spirit of our dancers for each other is unmatched.

I know anyone who goes to this school will find the passion and love of the dance and will feel part of a big family.
