The goddess Danu was the creator goddess of the half-god, half-men called the Tuatha deDanaan who were worshipped by the Celts. When the Tuatha deDanaan were conquered by invaders, they went underground to "fairy rings" and are now known as the little folk, or leprechauns.

Leslie Wilson is the Arts Director of the Scoil Rince De Danaan School Of Irish Dance; she has danced and taught with The Violet Moore School Of Irish Dancing for over 20 years, beginning at the age of six. She has participated in numerous festivals, performances and competitions including the World Championships in 1985.

Scoil Rince De Danaan encourages competition that promotes a healthy attitude towards personal goal-setting and life skills through the art form of Irish dancing. We also provide opportunity through non-competitive events such as Ceili Music and Dance Camp, trips to the Gaelic College in Cape Breton, local performances, and ceilis for students to enjoy the culture and participate in a fun, social, and educational environment.
