What´s the question you are asked the most when people realize you are a Riverdancer?
How long have you been dancing? How much do you practice? Are you Irish?

What do you do in your free time on tour?
Go to the gym, read, play snood, sleep.

At what age did you start Irish Dancing?
16

What did you like most about Irish Dancing?
The music. Irish music makes you want to get up and dance and being able to dance properly was the biggest thrill for me.

When and why did you decide you wanted to be in Riverdance?
I saw the show when I was 15, I wanted in then and there.

Where did you audition and what was it like?
I auditioned in New Jersey. We danced for 3 consecutive days 6 hours a day. Some of the most exhausting dancing of my life!

How did you feel when you heard you had been offered a place in the show?
I was thrilled and honoured. I also had a strong urge to get sick.

Favorite part of the show?
Firedance

Best Riverdance moment?
Nora Corrigan´s final show. She took her bow revealing hot pink panties to the entire cast, great laugh!

Most embarrassing Riverdance moment?
Thunderstorm, I fell down the first step just as the lightening flashes started.

Do you have any rituals you have to do before going onstage?
Have to take a vitamin B capsule. I also bless myself before I step out on stage. I also wash my feet before each show.

If you could only take 2 comfort things on tour what would they be?
Earplugs and my computer
