About Galway Swing
Paul Neary attended his first swing dancing class in Melbourne, Australia and
within a year had competed at various dance competitions throughout Australia, include successfully
winning titles at both State and Pan-Pacific level. He later added a UK title to his list of
competing honours before dedicating his time to teaching other dancers.
Paul has danced his way around the world, having the privilege of learning
from some of the world's finest and most respected teachers, and upon his arrival in the UK took
to teaching the locals of Edinburgh. This was a tremendous experience and inspired Paul to pursue
this career full-time right here in Galway.
Since the birth of Galway Swing, Paul has taught literally hundreds of people
how to dance, and still gets the same kick out of seeing a person dancing for the first time as
he did when he first took up teaching in Edinburgh nearly 5 years ago.
Galway Swing is not just about learning dance steps. It's about giving the
confidence and inspiration to get out and dance.
