Come curious. Find your Tribe.
Meet the Instructor
Hello, I’m Holly Blank and I’m the founder and instructor at Tribe Irish Dance Academy. Teaching Irish dance is one of my greatest sources of joy!
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of dancing with the O’Grady Quinlan Academy and Aisling Mor Academy in Pennsylvania, as well as the McBride School and Rohan Murphy Irish Dance Academy in California. I fell in love with this art form and it was in those experiences that my vision for Tribe was formed.
Now, after 14 years as a dancer, training with incredible instructors on both the East and West Coasts, and earning my TCRG (under CLRG) in early 2026, I’m so excited to pour everything I’ve learned into a community of my own.
I believe that learning should be joyful! My classes are filled with energy, encouragement, and laughter, and my goal is for every dancer (adults and youth) to leave each class feeling stronger than when they arrived.
I’m especially passionate about teaching adult dancers because I am one! I want to help every adult student grow their fitness level at their own pace, challenge their mind with new rhythms, and find fulfillment through the joy and camaraderie of Irish dance.
I can’t wait to welcome you into this new community and share the incredible journey with you!
We believe great dancers are shaped by a strong community where excellence and kindness exist together.
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive Irish dance education in a place where dancers of all ages feel empowered, supported, and excited to grow.
