Madrid might be known for its flamenco and vibrant nightlife, but there’s a different kind of rhythm making waves in the heart of Spain’s capital—Irish dance.

At the helm of this cultural fusion is La Academia de Danza Irlandesa Luna Celta, a dance academy that is not just surviving but thriving under the expert guidance of Yovanna Torres.

Yovanna, a Master in Irish Dance Performance from the prestigious University of Limerick in Ireland, has brought her passion and expertise to Madrid, creating a space where the beauty of Irish dance meets the warmth and excitement of Spanish culture.

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Luna Celta isn’t your average dance school. Here, Yovanna and her team offer a comprehensive approach to teaching the many styles of Irish dance, from the lively jigs and reels to the mesmerizing soft shoe and the powerful rhythm of hard shoe.

But what makes Luna Celta truly special is how it fuses traditional Irish dance techniques with contemporary innovation. This approach ensures that students aren’t just learning steps—they’re embracing the rich history and evolving future of Irish dance.

Whether students are dreaming of a professional career, aiming to compete on the world stage, or simply looking to dance for the joy of it, Luna Celta provides a nurturing and inspiring environment. The academy has quickly become a beacon for Irish dance enthusiasts in Madrid, offering something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned dancers.

A Home Away from Home

For many of Luna Celta’s students, the academy is more than just a place to dance; it’s a home away from home. Yovanna has cultivated a welcoming and vibrant community where everyone, regardless of age or experience, feels like they belong. It’s a place where the magic of Irish dance is celebrated with every step, and where the Celtic spirit is alive and well.

Students not only learn the art of Irish dance but also become part of a supportive community that celebrates each other’s achievements and encourages one another to reach new heights.

The camaraderie and sense of belonging at Luna Celta are palpable, making it a special place in the heart of Madrid.
