From their web site:
- The McGahan Lees Irish Dance Academy is based in Chelmsford, England, and holds classes in Colchester, Braintree, Chelmsford, Basildon, Brentwood and Billericay (all Essex), and Gravesend and Stone (Kent). The Academy is run by Frances McGahan, A.D.C.R.G., an experienced and qualified teacher and adjudicator registered with An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha -- one of the governing bodies of Irish dance.
- The Academy was born in 1996 when Frances gave up her job in London to launch herself into the less certain world of Irish dance teaching. Frances is assisted whenever possible by husband Guy, who has a full-time day job of his own.
- From small beginnings, Frances has built up a thriving and successful school. Although the Academy is one of the younger Irish dance schools, Frances now has regular championship winners, a number of regional champions, and a host of dancers who compete at international level. Frances achieved a major goal in 2004, when she took her adjudicator's examination. She passed with flying colours, changing from Frances McGahan T.C.R.G. to Frances McGahan A.D.C.R.G.
