Jennifer Corry, TCRG
Founder & Director
Jennifer began Irish dancing at the age of four with the Kennelly School under the direction of Patricia Kennelly in San Francisco. After competing in her first feis, she quickly developed a love for Irish dance that would continue throughout her life. Over the years, Jennifer competed at the Regional, National, and World Championship levels with the Murphy School under the direction of Mary Jo Murphy-Feeney. In 2010, she was selected as part of a group of dancers to travel to Shanghai, China, where she performed at the World Expo. Jennifer attended Saint Mary’s College of California from 2010–2014, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Education with an emphasis in Elementary Education. In 2022, she earned her Master of Education in School Counseling from University of Southern California and currently works as a middle school counselor in San Francisco. She continued her competitive dance career throughout college with the Michael Dillon School under the direction of Michael Dillon, originally from Ennis, County Clare Ireland. After earning her TCRG certification in 2016, she joined the school’s teaching staff and continued sharing her knowledge and passion for Irish dance with the next generation. In 2026, Jennifer founded the Corry School of Irish Dance, bringing together her lifelong love of Irish dance and passion for teaching. She is excited for this new chapter and looks forward to building a welcoming community where dancers can grow in confidence, develop their skills, form lasting friendships, and share in the joy of Irish dance.
