About Donny Golden School of Irish Dance

For more than 30 years, Donny Golden has trained Irish dancers, ranging from beginning to championship-level students, in traditional jigs and reels. That includes Riverdance's lead performer, Jean Butler, along with other championship Irish dancers. In addition to world-class students, Golden and his eponymous school, The Donny Golden School of Irish Dance, have also received countless other honors, such as a 1995 National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and the opportunity to perform on the national stage in a variety of venues, from Carnegie Hall to the White House.
