The Connick-Reid Academy, formerly known as Rince na h’Eireann School of Traditional Irish Dance (RNE), was founded in 1994 by Sandra Connick, ADCRG, who desired to pass on the rich, cultural foundation of Irish Dance to families in the greater Charlotte area. Since its founding, Stacie Greiner, ADCRG, has taken over primary ownership and operations of the Connick-Reid Academy, continuing the namesake of Sandra for the school as a staple of the local community. A native of Milford, Pennsylvania, Stacie grew up dancing, and enjoying a successful and memorable competitive career. Now, Stacie shares her love of dance, and her gift of teaching, in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Each of the Connick-Reid School’s teachers has a true love of dance, and of her students, and offers a wealth of experience from years of involvement in the art form and sport.
