Head Irish Dance Coach Peter O’Grady, aka ‘The Magician’, is know for his miraculous Irish dance injury treatments, accurate dance correction diagnostics and very effective online training programs.
He has been helping dancers achieve what some thought was impossible since 2014 and has since designed an online training program that has proven to be a great success!
Our programs do more than refine your dancing technique — they optimise how your body moves, addressing underlying limitations to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and support long-term, sustainable progress.
Peter and Paul are former elite athletes and Irish dancers, achieving podium finishes and medals at major competitions, including performances at the World Championships. As specialised Irish dance coaches and therapists, they have trained and supported multiple World Champions. Paul holds a degree in Physical Education and is a widely recognised coach nationwide, with extensive experience managing athletes and teams that have gone on to win major national and international trophies.
"Peter I would like to take the opportunity to thank you so much for everything. My daughter has taken part in all your classes and workshops since 2020. Your services have provided tremendous support and encouragement for all the children through a difficult period. You are a fantastic role model, keep up the good work. "
We design our programs because we understand exactly what Irish dancers and parents are looking for: clear guidance, proven results, and confidence that training is safe and effective. Dancers want to improve technique, jump higher, move faster, and stay injury-free — without wasting time on generic exercises that don’t translate to performance. Our programs are built from real-world professional experience working with Irish dancers, combined with sports science, biomechanics, and clinical knowledge, ensuring every element has a purpose. Rather than following generic fitness templates, each program explains the movement, the muscles involved, common faults, and how to progress correctly. This approach gives dancers clarity, direction, and trust in their training — knowing it is designed specifically for the demands of Irish dancing and backed by expertise.
Our programs are priced to be accessible while delivering exceptional value. Each plan includes structured 12-week training programs, teacher-focused guidance, recommended testing, and clear explanations of movements and muscles used. Instead of generic advice, dancers receive practical knowledge they can reuse, making this an affordable investment in performance, confidence, and long-term progress.
“I’ve tried everything, but I’m not improving.”
Progress often plateaus when training isn’t individualised. Generic programs, unsuitable exercise selection, poor recovery, or ineffective competition preparation can all limit results—no matter how hard you train.
These are just some of the subject’s that we will help you with.
The Performance Consultation is the foundation of every successful training journey and the most important step for Irish dancers looking to improve performance, reduce injury risk, and train with purpose.
Peter strongly recommends that all dancers begin with a consultation, as it provides the clarity and direction needed to achieve meaningful, long-term results.
To deliver effective, individualised programming, it is essential to fully understand:
Your goals and competitive demands
Your movement quality and biomechanics
Any postural, strength, mobility, or control limitations
Factors that may be restricting performance or increasing injury risk
During the consultation, a series of targeted assessments are used to evaluate how your body is functioning during movement. These assessments provide both you and Peter with a clear, objective understanding of what is limiting your performance.
For example, if an anterior pelvic tilt is identified, this can directly affect posture, core control, hip mobility, turnout efficiency, and jump mechanics. Identifying this early allows training to be specifically planned to correct the issue, rather than guessing or applying generic exercises.
By the end of the session, you will have:
A clear understanding of your current performance strengths
Insight into your movement restrictions and compensations
Identification of postural or biomechanical factors affecting technique
A professional explanation of why certain skills feel difficult or inconsistent
A clear plan of where to focus your training for maximum improvement
This ensures your programme is purpose-built for your body, rather than relying on trial and error.
