Meet Your Irish Dance Teacher

Miss Hillary took her first Irish dance class at 9 years old. She quickly fell in love and has been dancing ever since. Under the instruction and guidance of Sophia Schoch-Wyzgowski, TCRG, she obtained confidence, leadership, and performance skills.

Hillary competes internationally as a Championship level Irish dancer and as part of a Ceili team, has performed in many lead roles for An Irish Nutcracker, and performs with the Shannon Irish Dance Company. She teaches the Jump’n Jig, Youth, and Performance programs. In 2023, she became the Associate Artistic Director of An Irish Nutcracker. She enjoys sharing her love and passion for Irish dance with her students.

Hillary is in the process of taking the grade exams through An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG). She plans to sit for the TCRG and eventually run a dance studio. She is also a Shannon Irish Dance Academy Delegate for the United Irish Societies of Detroit.
