Celtic Traditions

I am so grateful for the opportunity my three children have had working with Ms Amanda at Celtic Traditions. Her commitment, talent and ability to work with all age children is a testament to her craft. You can tell she loves what she does and for that my children always look forward to going to dance class. My two boys, 10 and 9 along with with my six year old girl are learning so much in terms of discipline and controlling their bodies. . . And they are becoming pretty incredible dancers along the way. These past few years working in her studio have been a joy!

I was a dancer at Celtic Traditions for 10 years. Mrs. Amanda taught me so much more than dance. She taught me the power of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice. She always created a safe atmosphere for learning. There's no better place to go if you want to build confidence and strength in your kids or even yourself yes, she offers adult classes also. I cant recommend this studio enough, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

My daughter has been at Celtic Traditions for over 2 years now from the age of 5 years old, to 7. Whenever we go to visit family or friends she takes with her, the love of Irish dance. She gives her own little lessons to all those who are willing to learn. Normally a shy girl, this confidence was one of the many benefits to come out of numerous classes at Celtic Tradition. Amanda is dedicated to teaching the technique of Irish Dance so that her dancers flourish, this is true for my daughter and for other students I have seen transform and progress at the studio. She has consistently invested her time and energy into her students, considerate towards their interests and abilities, and she does it with heart.

Celtic Traditions and more specifically Amanda Tucker Poole has been an amazing blessing to our family. Both my daughters dance and absolutely love it. I’ll be honest, I chuckled at the thought of our family participating in Irish dance initially but after the free trial class several years ago, we were absolutely hooked. Amanda is SO patient and SO very talented. She expertly balances discipline and emphasizing technique with the simple joy and fun of dance. I’m so thankful for her and hope she never retires .

If you want a quality, professional and knowledgeable Irish dance instruction look nowhere else! Coming from the UK I sought the very best instruction for my daughter who danced 8 years with Miss Amanda and competed around the US. Her dedication to her students and the discipline instilled in them to do their best and love what they do is carried on with them in so many other areas than dance. She is also a fun and caring instructor who is approachable and connects with parents to help support the dancers.

Celtic Traditions has been a huge part of our family for years. My sister took for 5 years. Amanda, the instructor, took time to help my sister reach her goals. She is an excellent and accomplished dancer herself and poured a great deal of herself into the dancers. She also provided an atmosphere of "family" for the dancers. The girls were close and always encouraged one another. Celtic Traditions is much more than a dance studio, the classes went beyond just the average dance class, and Amanda is more than just the dancer's teacher. All are truly something special. Our family is grateful for all the years spent at Celtic Traditions.

I have 4 children who dance with Miss Amanda, as well as myself. We started here in the fall of 2015 when we moved from Washington. Since then, my oldest daughter has had significant improvements in her dance, and the other children have also benefited from the excellent instruction, with my son finishing 2 places out of recall at his first Oireachtas. Amanda is a dedicated teacher who makes dance fun and interesting for the youngest dancers and challenges more advanced dancers to reach their competition goals. She is truly a wonderful dance teacher.

We LOVE Celtic Traditions and Amanda! All of our daughters have participated in one time or another with one of our daughters still continuing her Irish Dance education there. We were part of another dance studio locally a few years ago and were not treated with the personal touches that we receive with CT! My daughter loves her classes, the prices are more than reasonable, and we are always treated with fairness! Would give 10 stars if I could!

Celtic Traditions is an amazing family of people who want to see one another succeed! I have known Miss Amanda since I was 8, and I consider myself so lucky to know her and have been taught by her. From the tiny beginners to the adult classes, everyone has so much fun while learning a lot, and that is a difficult balance to achieve. Celtic Traditions is a great place to learn a great sport.
