Laura Haughey (TCRG)

Dance Teacher in St Albans

“I love supporting our dancers on their Irish dancing journey from taking their first steps at class, to their first competition, and all the way up to the major championships.  My main goal is watching the dancers I teach “dance happy” and enjoying their dancing, whether they are dancing for fun, fitness, gradings or competitions”.
 
Laura started dancing at 4yrs old following in her big sister Michelle’s footsteps training with the Setanta school of Irish dancing in Edinburgh.  Laura competed at the highest level and gained many championship titles as well as being a World Championship medal holder in both solo and team competitions.  She then moved on to show dancing and toured Europe and Ireland before returning home to focus her sights on teaching; passing her TCRG in 2003 and setting up classes in Edinburgh.
Laura moved to St Albans, Hertfordshire, England in 2009 and set up classes in her local area which quickly became a success.  Laura has trained dancers from their first tentative steps to major championship level.  The dancers also enjoy taking part in local community events as well as performing at weddings and celebrations.

As a qualified childminder by day, and also having 2 children of her own, Laura tailors her teaching to ensure children of all ages feel comfortable and secure.
