An Daire Academy of Irish Dance was founded in 2006 by husband & wife team of Jim Mueller, ADCRG and Lauren Crowe-Mueller, ADCRG. In 2020, after several workshops in Kalispell over the years, the opportunity for an An Daire Academy branch came to Kalispell. The Kalispell branch is led by director, Claire Gutschenritter. Like the oak tree from which the name An Daire comes, our dancers learn the benefits of hard work, strong character and deep roots in an environment focused on family, fun and fitness!
