:Instructor Kay Brown LaGreca began dancing in County Cork, Ireland at the age of five.  After moving to Texas, she grew to love Irish dance under the instruction of Emily Touzin.  She continued to dance with Emily until she met Eoin O'Maoileidigh (a competitive TCRG from Dublin, Ireland) in April of 1994.  Kay attended her first competition under Eoin in June of 1994 and swiftly began to work her way through the levels.  In March of 1995, after less than a year of dedicated practice and class time, Kay entered her first preliminary championship, where she won third place.  She continued competing successfully for the next three years, during which she won the Southern Region Oireachtas and qualified for Worlds.  In January of 1998, Kay's beloved teacher Eoin moved back to Ireland and left the school to Kay.  The school was supported by Colm O'Maoileidigh, TCRG until Kay became TCRG certified in October of 2001.  The school now known as the Shandon School of Irish dance (named for the Shandon bells in County Cork) has enjoyed many successes over the years including regular recalls and qualifications for Worlds at the Southern Region Oireachtas and recalls and placings at the North American Irish Dance Championships.
