A Brief History of The Boland School.

Christine Boland began dancing at the age of 9 on Long Island.  She moved to Upstate NY in 1973 and in 1987 passed her TCRG exam and became certified to teach Irish Dance.  Classes were held in AOH Halls in Troy, Watervliet and Schenectady until, in September 2000, The Boland School opened their own studio in Troy, NY.

Christine is also a member of the An Comisiun, Dublin, Ireland, the North American Irish Dance Teachers Association and the Eastern Region Irish Dance Teachers Association 

Jennifer Boland, Christine's daughter, started dancing at the age of 3 and hasn't stopped since.

After a successful competitive career, Jennifer took her teachers exam and was awarded her TCRG in September 2002.
