Most embarrassing Riverdance moment?
When I ´bellyflopped´ at the end of the Wake in Osaka, Japan. It was our last show there! :(

When and why did you decide you wanted to be in Riverdance?
The fact that Irish Dancing could be more than curly hair or heavy costumes! And the fact that you could put personality into your performance.

At what age did you start Irish Dancing?
At age 7

What did you like most about Irish Dancing?
I liked when we did shows - performances.

Where did you audition and what was it like?
Dublin, Ireland - it was fine, I was a bit nervous naturally

How did you feel when you heard you had been offered a place in the show?
Very excited! Happy!

Favorite part of the show?
Being in make-up and performing to a fab audience!

Best Riverdance moment?
There have been so many! Performing in NY, Japan and all over the world.

Do you have any rituals you have to do before going onstage?
Not really, but I have quite a routine...

My boyfriend and my cat!

What do you do in your free time on tour?
Read, go to the movies, shop, sightsee, go out, draw...

How much do you guys practise?
