Louise has been dancing for over 30 years and teaching for over a decade. She has always had a strong passion for many styles of dance with a specialty in Irish Dance. Louise and her family moved to the U.S from Dublin, Ireland when she was a child. After witnessing her first Irish dance performance, she was eager to learn the dance for herself. She danced competitively for 14 years with An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), and earned the honor of becoming a Champion Irish dancer. Louise is a licensed Irish dance teacher (TCRG) and adjudicator (ADCRG) with the Irish dance organization Rince Tuatha Nua which is affiliated with Cumann Rince Dea Mheasa in Ireland. She was awarded the 2021 & 2022 Global Award Winner for Excellence in Teaching Irish Dance by Irish Dance Magazine. Louise enjoys working with students of all ages and levels, from the little toddlers to our award winning competitive dancers.

Louise is a graduate of Bridgewater State University, where she studied Elementary Education and English. Immediately following college, Louise began teaching dance and fitness classes to children and adults in the South Shore, while also working as a preschool teacher. Louise opened her studio~ Miss Louise's School of Dance in March 2012. In 2020 Louise decided to shift her focus to all Irish dance and renamed the school McHale School of Irish Dance. Louise enjoys sharing her love of Irish dance each and every day. She believes it is a great way to form friendships, build confidence, and live a healthy lifestyle!
