The History

The McDonough-Grimes school name honors the union of two Irish families, one from the East, the other from the West which instilled in me a love for Irish culture, wit, music and, especially Irish dance.

They came to New Hampshire with the hope of a better life. It's my hope that I've done them proud with opening the McDonough-Grimes Irish Dance School.

Only one of my grandparents has actually seen me dance but I know the others were watching from above.
