Meet Cathleen Dower
The Fitzgerald School of Irish Dance was founded by Cathleen Dower in 2013. Cathleen started dancing at the age of 5, taking classes in everything from ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical. At the age of 12 she saw the Broadway performance of Riverdance and shortly thereafter she made the transition to strictly dancing Irish Step.
