Tir na nOg, With locations in Munich and Kaiserslautern and over 250 pupils, is currently one of the largest Irish dance schools in Germany. The school was founded 20 years ago by Mary Sweeney and from its humble beginnings in an Irish pub with less than 20 members it has since grown from strength to strength as one of Europe´s most active and successful Irish dance schools. Tir na nÓg houses the Sweeney-McAvinchey competitive school which prepares students not only in Germany, but also in Poland for competitions worldwide and teachers´ exams. Some former pupils have gone on to perform on stages worldwide in touring productions.
