Daryl Goldes, ADCRG began Irish dancing at age 11 under the instruction of the O’Connor School in southern California. She enjoyed many competitive successes, placing and receiving medals at the regional, national, and international level. In February 2012, Daryl passed the rigorous TCRG (Irish dancing teachers) exam with honours and founded Scoil Rince Daryl Rose in 2014.
Daryl’s proudest accomplishments have been putting dancers on multiple stages and seeing her dancers develop into strong and well-rounded young adults.
In addition, Daryl brings expertise as an adjudicator into her experience as a teacher. Her proudest accomplishments as an adjudicator have been judging the 2023 Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne (World Irish Dancing Championships), the 2025 North American Irish Dancing Championships, as well as multiple regional Oireachtasi and feiseanna across the United States and Canada.
Daryl’s method of training focuses on the mind-body connection of Irish dancing: first and foremost having the passion and love for dancing, while training the body and the mind to convey that love. Daryl utilizes Pilates, cross-training, healthy eating, relaxation, stage presence, and visualization to help students be successful, as she did with her own competitive dancing.
