Testimonials
- "I just wanted to let Janelle know I won't be in class anymore - my family is moving to Austin, TX . I do want to share it has been a wonderful experience - I was hesitant to take a class like this (especially being a 40 something, somewhat out of shape person) but I have always loved dancing and gave it a shot. I am so glad I did. Janelle is a wonderful instructor and caters to all of the experience levels in the class. She makes you feel at ease and that it is meant to be enjoyable. I had so much fun and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. In fact, I am pretty bummed not to get to continue and am hoping that I can find something similar in TX." Kind Regards, Jennifer M (Beginning Irish Dance)

Janelle's Bio
Janelle Jones began Irish dancing at the wee age of 5 and competed on the West Coast and in Canada until the age of 13 at both the local and National level. With the frenzy of River Dance, she started assistant-teaching in 1997.
In 1998 she rekindled her passion for competition and rejoined the Comerford School of Irish Dance. With a new enthusiasm, she competed on the 1999 Nationals Teams, and qualified at the Western Regional’s in both solos and teams for the 2000 World Championships.
She would qualify and compete at the World Championship level again in 2002 & 2004 placing 4th and 3rd respectively for team competitions. Janelle has a desire to share her passion for Irish Dance and watch each student grow – no matter what their age or experience level. She has been teaching Irish Dance at ADI since 1998.
