Damhsa (Irish for Dancing) is an Irish Dance group performing in Finland for private and public audiences. Matthew Fitzsimons, a Dublin native with a deep tradition of traditional dancing passed on by his parents and many years of training, started the group in January 2005 and have performed in various parts of Finland ever since. Matthew teaches traditional Irish Dancecourses in Helsinki, which keep him very busy.

"My parents encouraged all their 10 children to dance. My mother was an Irish dancer in her youth and both my mother and father were ballroom dancers when the time was in," states Matthew. The group consists of Finnish and Irish dancers.
