The Anam Cara Irish Dance School was established in 2002, and holds classes at our studio at 72 Camp Avenue, Stamford, Connecticut.  Megan Slocum, TCRG, is the owner and director of the studio.  John Lydon, TCRG, Fiona O'Connell and Christina Drago round out the Anam Cara family of teachers.

Anam Cara, which is Gaelic for “soul friend”, seeks to cultivate a lifelong love of Irish Dance and to foster friendships among the dancers. Anam Cara dancers can be seen performing at events around Fairfield County and compete at local, regional, national and international competitions.  They also perform year-round as a troupe at weddings, celebrations, nursing homes, parades and various other events.
