Sandra Ganley hails from Ballaghaderreen. Along with her work in primary education, she has set up her own dance school and travels around Co Mayo showing children and teens "how to jive, waltz and line dance in a country music environment". She is a graduate in Irish Music and Dance from the Irish World Academy in the University of Limerick.

Having hung up her competitive dance shoes, Sandra now performs as part of the Ganley Sisters, promoting Irish culture and heritage. She also regularly presents programmes on the channel Showcase TV. 

"I thoroughly enjoy all the behind the scenes work of running a business and working for myself."
