Founder & Coach

Long time competitive and professional Irish dancer and instructor, Ellen G. Waller, has dedicated her life to Irish dance. Her talent as a dancer has led her to perform for thousands across the world, and her passion as an Irish dance instructor has influenced innumerable young dancers.

As a young dancer, Ellen recognized the unique physical and mental challenges encountered by elite dancers and athletes. Determined to learn more about supporting young dancers and athletes, she returned to school to complete her Masters of Science in Exercise Science.

Coupling her in-depth experience as an Irish dancer/instructor with her expansive knowledge of kinesiology, Ellen developed the innovative Target Training program — a series of courses and training methods that condition the specific muscles Irish dancers need to:

  • Optimize performance
  • Improve technique
  • Reduce the risk of injuries
  • Overcome physical and mental challenges
  • Perform and compete at an elite level
