Leanne McGrath has been involved in Irish dancing since the age of 7. Throughout her competitive career, her achievements included becoming a 4-time Australian Champion, placing 14th at the World Championships, and 7th at the All Irelands.

 

Now, as the founder and sole teacher of the McGrath Studio ACT, Leanne thrives on creating a welcoming community and cherishes the friendships and love shared amongst her dancers. 

 

While dance has brought many achievements, Leanne considers her finest accomplishment to be her four young children.

 

As an adjudicator, Leanne enjoys watching dancers at all levels and understands the hard work that happens behind the scenes. For her, fit, motivated, and happy dancers are a joy to watch. 

 

Her favourite quote is: “Stay calm, think it through, and just concentrate on what can be done, not what can't, because that's pointless".
