NAIDC 2026 💙

Another unforgettable NAIDC is in the books, and we couldn’t be prouder of our dancers. From first-time Nationals competitors to world qualifiers, recalls, podium finishes, and personal bests, every dancer gave their all on that stage.

No matter the outcome, representing Harney-Crawford Academy at Nationals is something to be incredibly proud of. Congratulations to all of our recalled dancers and medalists, and to every dancer who worked tirelessly to get here.

Thank you to our families, teachers, and supporters for being with us every step of the way. We are so grateful for an incredible week and can’t wait for what’s next. 💙✨

That’s a wrap on Harney-Crawford Kids Camp! ☘️💙

2 weeks filled with Irish dancing, games, crafts, laughter, new friendships, and lots of fun. Thank you to all of our incredible families for an amazing week—we loved spending our summer with you!

See you back in the studio soon! ✨

We would like to congratulate our 19 World Qualifiers from the NAIDC 2026 who have earned the opportunity to represent Harney-Crawford Academy on the World stage in Belfast 2027

This achievement is a testament to months (and years) of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and a true love for Irish dance. We couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you. The journey continues! ☘️✨

We couldn’t be more proud of Aoife and all the hard work she put into her dancing leading up to the NAIDC! 💛

At just 6 years old, she’s already learning the valuable life lessons Irish dance teaches—hard work, perseverance, confidence, and believing in yourself. We’re so proud of the way she stepped onto that stage with a smile and gave it her all.

North American Irish Dance Championships 2026🇺🇸🎉

Ceili Results💙🖤💛

AVERY CONDON – 5th Place U18B – NAIDC 2026❤️⭐️
5th place and World Qualified! 🌎👏

Avery balances a demanding school schedule, other sports, helping teach our younger dancers, and still puts in the work to keep improving. Her determination and incredible work ethic make her someone so many of our younger dancers look up to.

One of the best parts of this season has been watching Avery truly fall in love with performing and dancing for the joy of it again, not just for a trophy or sash. That growth has been amazing to see.

Thank you, Gavin and team, for working with us to design Avery’s beautiful new dress and helping us update her signature plaid look! ❤️

So proud of you, Avery. We can’t wait to see what’s next!

PAIGE CLIFFORD -🏅5th Place NAIDC 2026🏅
🌎World Qualified for Belfast 2027🌎

What an incredible achievement for Paige! Finishing 5th out of over 130 dancers and was the 3rd highest placing North American dancer!

Paige’s love for dance shines through on and off the stage every time she dances! She continues to amaze us with her work ethic and her ability to follow through on all her corrections. This was a truly well-deserved result. We are so proud of you, Paige, and can’t wait to see what the future holds! 🖤🧡🤍
