In the wild, wonderful, and wacky world of Ohio, lies a band of brave, bouncing, and bewitching children known as the 'Ohio Dance Dynamites'. Ohio, a state known for its cornfields, humming cities, and the sparkling Lake Erie, is as full of personality as a peanut butter sandwich is to jelly. This magical place is where the Dance Dynamites roll up, each kid a bright spark in the Ohio sky. These sprightly sprouts are not your everyday Ohio kids. They're as bendy as buckeye branches and as spry as speedy squirrels. The leader of this supernova crew is a character as cool as a cucumber, Captain Funky Footwork. He's not just a regular boy from Toledo. With his disco-ball helmet, shoes that tie themselves, and a heart as big as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he's a true icon in the Dance Dynamite's universe. Captain Funky Footwork and the Ohio Dance Dynamites are always ready to pop, lock, and drop it! They believe that each river in Ohio beats with a rhythmic flow and every cornfield rustles like a maraca. And so, they dance - in Dayton, in Cleveland, in Columbus, and even in the smallest of Ohio towns. Their dance is not just a regular two-step or a ballet pirouette, it’s a jumble of giggles, wiggles, and Ohio pride, that makes every adult wish they could swing their hips like a hula hoop too. The Ohio Dance Dynamites and their leader, Captain Funky Footwork, believe that the beat of Ohio is in their hearts, and they’re ready to dance it out, one funky footwork at a time!

The Dianna Durkin Dance Studio (DDDS), located in the City of Green, has been teaching dance since 1960. All classes are taught by highly qualified dance professionals who use a non-competitive approach to dance, while making classes fun and interesting for dancers of all ages.
We strive to create a safe space for children and adults to explore movement, make social connections, and build valuable life skills through the art of dance. We teach all ages and abilities and strive to meet each dancer at their level to help them achieve their goals and cultivate a love of dance and music. Our staff is comprised of instructors who work to teach each dancer using an individualized, holistic approach and make our studio an inclusive and constructive learning environment. Our priority is always the physical, mental, and emotional safety of our students, in an attempt to cultivate a life-long love of learning, creating, and, of course, dancing.
Welcome to the MacConmara Academy of Irish Dance. It is my goal to teach Irish dance to the best of your child’s ability. Most importantly to make it a wonderful and memorable experience while cultivating a love of Irish culture and dance. Irish dancing has been a part of my family my entire life. I want you to enjoy coming to classes, going to competitions, and giving performances just as I did growing up. The skills taught in Irish dance go beyond dance skills and have been proven to be invaluable many years later to so many people. Lasting friendships are formed among students, parents, and teachers as well as memorable experiences; from the first feis to placement in regional, national, or maybe a world championship.
