A month ago, we told you about a couple of former "Riverdance" champion dancers who opened their own Irish dance school, Rince Nia Academy of Irish Dance, in Mequon.
It's been a busy and successful month for Milwaukee's Irish dance potential and Sean Beglan and Jillian Winke Beglan have since expanded to a second location.
The Third Ward's Rince Nia is located at 342 N. Water St., Suite 400 -- where it shares a space with the Milwaukee Dance Theater -- and accommodates advanced dance students.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
