Shauna McGauran

Founder & Dance Teacher

          My name is Shauna McGauran and I began Irish dancing at the age of 4, following in the footsteps of my mother and grandmother who both danced. 

​

          I danced with Hunter School in Dublin where I achieved as high as 2nd place at the World Championships, top 5 in Leinster Championships, and gained the title of Dublin Champion. 

​

          I performed with the Jameson Irish Dance troupe for a number of years while I was studying for my degree, Analytical Science, at Dublin City University. Here, I danced for tourists and corporate events at the Shindig Nights in the distillery in Smithfield, Dublin. 

​

          I qualified as a TCRG  (qualification for an Irish Dance Teacher) in 2017 and subsequently, set up Shauna McGauran School of Irish Dance. 

​

          I now work as a Radiochemist at Blackrock Clinic during the day, and spend most evenings teaching Irish Dancing.

My favourite part about teaching is seeing children improve, work hard and reaching their goals. I also love getting the opportunity for the school to perform at various local events.
