ABOUT THE MAYER-TORNO SCHOOL Mayer-Torno School serves to encourage, inspire, and motivate students to dance and be the best they can be. Our philosophy is to teach in a friendly and positive way increasing each dancers self-confidence. We encourage communication between the students, parents, and teaching staff. Our ultimate goal is to provide a learning atmosphere that is healthy and fun. We strive to instill a sense of belonging, friendships, school spirit, and confidence in each and every student. We are proud to pass along our love of Irish dancing to children from all backgrounds; thus, children do not have to be Irish to participate! Mayer School in St. Louis was established in 1995 by Paul Mayer, a certified Irish dance instructor (TCRG) and adjudicator (ADCRG), from Chicago, Illinois. For several years, Paul traveled weekly to his St. Louis school to teach classes where Meghan Torno was a student. During this time, Meghan became an Open Champion dancer and later became a talented instructor and Pauls assistant. After Paul married and started a family in Chicago, he turned his St. Louis school over to Meghan, who had since acquired the TCRG certification. Paul and his two sisters, Mary Mayer McHugh, TCRG and Julie Mayer Ciesla, TCRG continue Mayer School throughout the states of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. Meghan now owns and directs the St. Louis location which carries her name, Mayer-Torno School of Irish Dance. Meghan Torno, is the owner/director and principal instructor of Mayer-Torno School St. Louis. Meghan is a certified teacher of Irish Dance, having received her Irish Dance Accreditation (TCRG) in January, 2006. Meghan is second-generation Irish and grew up in a family surrounded by Irish music and dance. She started Irish dancing at age 3 and quickly moved up the competition ladder, reaching the Championship level in her early teens. Meghan traveled extensively throughout her competitive years, retiring from the competitive world while attending St. Louis University. Meghan still continued performing, having performed with various well-known groups that include The Chieftains, Boys of the Lough, Frank Patterson, Cherish the Ladies, Eileen Ivers, and Natalie MacMaster. Meghan is a graduate of St. Louis University, with a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology and currently works at St. Lukes Hospital. In January of 2006, Meghan received her TCRG (Teagascoir Choimisiuin le Rince Gaelacha), the official teaching certification, which accredits her by An Coimisiuin le Rince Gaelacha, in Dublin Ireland, the worlds governing body of Irish dance. Meghan passed the challenging TCRG exam with high honors! Because of Meghans extensive Irish dancing career, which spans over 20 years, and along with the tutelage and training as a teacher from world-renowned instructors, she looks forward to passing on the same standard of excellence, instruction, and compassion she received throughout her years to her students. Along with being a certified Irish dance teacher, Meghan is also an accomplished Irish musician. She has won numerous awards and recognition playing her Irish Whistle and flute, including winning various first-place awards at the Midwest Fleadh Cheoil, which is the Irish music championships, qualifying her to compete at the World Championships in Ireland. Erin Weicht, a principal instructor at Mayer-Torno School, is a former competitive Open Champion Irish dancer who started her Irish dancing career at age 5. Erin has competed both regionally and nationally, and reached the Championship level while in her teens. Erin retired from competitive Irish dancing when she started college, and now shares her Irish dance experience with her students. In addition to her successful Irish dancing career, Erin is employed at St. Johns Mercy Health Center, and is planning to take the TCRG exam to receive full accreditation from the Irish Dance Commission.
