The McAleer tradition began 50 years ago when Veronica's aunt, Alice McAleer, began the first McAleer school in Ireland. When Veronica came across the water in 1967, she began her school in Delaware. Veronica has coached generations of children and adults and enriched our community through passing on her love and knowledge of irish dance and culture.

Veronica has brought numerous dancers to various competitions, including World Championships in Ireland. The McAleer school colors of black and white are recognized world-wide, Veronica's sister, aunt and cousins also have schools in Armagh as well as London. Be it in Dublin, Toronto, or New York, the McAleer Dancers demonstrate extreme skill and great sportmanship. While McAleer Dancers have won many championships, we find that the friendships formed between dancers and within the dance community is one of the most rewarding treasures of the dance experience.
