  • We drive 90 minutes to Charlotte to attend classes at Royal Academy. We feel the drive is totally WORTH IT! Alex is a talented choreographer and dance teacher. She cares about the mental well being as much as the physical well being of her dancers. It is evident in the way that she runs her school and in how she teaches the kids that she LOVES Irish dancing. One of the things that the kids love most about Miss Alex is that she puts on her dancing shoes and dances with them, and has the ability to show how their steps should be done properly. We are so glad to be a part of Royal Academy!

  • I love being a dancer at Royal Academy because Miss Alex creates a wonderful and positive environment for the dancers. She is constantly encouraging, and correcting us in a positive way. She is a great choreographer and caters to your style as a dancer. I feel like I improve from each and every class, because of the very talented teacher who is teaching!

  • Being part of the Royal Academy of Irish Dance is a pleasure for my daughter and for me. The owner, Alexandra Macchi, is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic and wonderful to work with. My daughter has enjoyed class in an environment that is great for learning and asking questions. My dancer is more aware of proper technique and is working hard. She feels encouraged at every class and the enthusiasm carries over throughout the week. I would highly recommend Royal Academy of Irish Dance for any level dancer.
