History
Cashel Dennehy officially started in 1983 when they branched off from the Shamrock Club of Milwaukee. Its original name was the Cashel School of Irish Dance, taking its name from the famous Rock of Cashel. In 1982, Dennis Dennehy, TCRG ADCRG (TCRG meaning a certified Irish Dance teacher, and ADCRG meaning a certified judge) agreed to be the school's teacher. Dennehy made weekly trips from Chicago to Milwaukee. He retired from teaching, but is the current (as of 2008) president of the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA). In 1987, the Cashel School of Irish Dance was renamed the Cashel Dennehy School of Irish Dance to honor Dennehy. His daughter, Kathy Dennehy TCRG ADCRG took his place in 1993.
Competition
Besides being a performing art, Irish Dance is also a competitive sport. Cashel has won numerous awards at regional, national and even international competition. The thing Cashel is most famous for though, is its Ceili teams. They are also the only school in the United States to have a Ceili team win the World Championships. [1] Cashel also prides itself in its solo competition achievements. Dan Medora, one of Cashel's students, is the only boy in his region to have won the Midwest Region Irish Dancing Championchips 5 times consecutively.[2]
