O ‘Shea Irish Dance is led by director Cormac O’Sé. Established in 2005, OID provides training for the demanding and technical art form of traditional and competitive Irish Step dance where dancers train as artists, musicians, and athletes.  Teaching ages three to adult, OID instructors inform the whole dancer to train a healthy body in strength, flexibility, and fitness as well as a healthy mind in confidence, discipline, and performance.

We’re a sit-down concert band based in the Lexington-Hamline neighborhood. We’ve been performing in and around Saint Paul since 1992. We’ve played at Grand Old Day, the St Paul Saints, Highland Art Fair, Lex-Ham Ice Cream Social, and dozens of senior homes in the Twin Cities area. We love to perform in the neighborhood at social gatherings.
