Our Mission: Enhance What Teachers Do Best
We believe every Irish dancer deserves access to championship-level feedback, and every teacher deserves tools that amplify their expertise.
Born from Experience
Awen Insights was founded by two people who understand the challenges of Irish dance training from every angle: a World Champion dancer who knows what it takes to reach the top, and a master teacher with 20+ years of experience developing dancers at every level.
We saw a gap in the market: online dance platforms offered generic workout videos, but none could provide the personalized, specific feedback that dancers need to actually improve. "Work on your turnout" is not helpful if you do not know exactly what is wrong and exactly when it happens.
That is why we built Awen Insights - to give every dancer access to the kind of detailed, timestamped, personalized feedback that used to require expensive private lessons with elite coaches.
Our Vision
To become the industry-standard platform for Irish dance skill development, transforming how dancers learn and teachers instruct.
Our Values
Excellence, accessibility, continuous improvement, and respect for the rich tradition of Irish dance while embracing innovation.
