A handful of dancers from the Richens/Timm Academy of Irish dance will be joining bohola on stage to (literally) kick off this year's Celtic Series on Saturday, October 22 at the new Centennial Hall at Stivers School for the Arts.
The Richens/Timm Academy is one of the most recognizable and respected
names in the world of Irish dance. It is the most established and
accomplished school in both central Ohio and central Indiana. The
Academy’s rich history began over 35 years ago when Ann Richens, a
native of Dublin, Ireland, began traveling to Columbus from Dayton,
Ohio to share her passion for Irish dance. After her prized pupil, John
Timm, captured the 1993 Senior Men’s World Championship title, they
partnered and the school became the Richens/Timm Academy. In 1994, John
continued the tradition of the traveling dance master while expanding
the Academy’s reach into Indiana.
Sadly, Richens passed away in early September 2011 after a battle with cancer. Cityfolk founder Phyllis Brzozowska remembered her in this recent blog post. We will honor her memory with a tribute during the concert.
