"My daughter Sarah's journey with the Carroll School of Irish Dancing began at the tender age of 4, where her passion for dance blossomed under the nurturing guidance of Gerard. Now, at 13, her love for dancing knows no bounds, whether in class, on stage, or during exhibitions, particularly relishing the spirit of St. Patrick's Day performances. Gerard's carefully crafted exercises not only keep her fit and healthy but also enhance her skills. Sarah enthusiastically embraces local and national competitions and Gerard's supportive approach ensures that competition remains optional.

Beyond the dance floor, the friendships she's forged are enduring, thanks to Gerard's commitment to fostering a vibrant community through social activities like Easter and summer camps, Christmas dinners, BBQs, quizzes, mindfulness sessions, and cherished movie nights. Sarah’s journey with Irish dance is not merely a hobby; it’s a lifelong skill that she has acquired, a testament to Gerard's unwavering dedication and infectious love for Irish dance, which illuminates the journey of every student who attends his classes and studio."

"We joined the Carroll School of Irish Dancing 8 years ago and never looked back. Both of my daughters and my son have been pupils of the Carroll School. It is a friendly family orientated school. There is a caring and fun environment in which the children learn Irish dance and improve their health and fitness. Gerard and Vicky are supportive to all children and this caring approach allows every student to develop at their own pace. The highlight for the children is the Class Feis where everyone gets an opportunity with the help of the teacher to perform on stage for family and friends, which gave my children a new found confidence. At the heart of the Carroll School is a focus on fun and enjoyment through dance. My children have gone on outings, meet-ups, summer camps and trips away. I can't recommend the Carroll School enough."

"My daughter started dancing with the Carroll School 5 years ago. Since day one, she remains committed and loves going every week to learn new steps and exercises. She has become more confident and also takes part in competitions. This is because Gerard is caring and captures the best in her. She has made lots of friends since joining the school and has lots of fun with them. As a parent I'm very grateful for all Gerard does during dancing classes, get togethers in McDonalds, cinema trips and workshops. When I drop her off I'm content that she is well looked after and secure. At the Carroll School we are one big family and I look forward to many more years with the school."
