It has always been my dream and ambition to introduce Irish dancing to the world.

You're out on stage, the music is blaring, the crowd is screaming, the lights are flashing, your heart is pumping, the sweat is flying, and it's the greatest feeling in the whole world.

I wasn't even sure I'd be able to walk. I couldn't even go outside. Maybe I was just burnt crisp from the gruelling schedule I had been keeping for years.

I feel like a tiger right now. There's nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.

It has always been my dream and ambition to introduce Irish dancing to the world.

When's the last time you walked by a pub in Dublin and heard Irish music? When's the last time you ordered a coffee and heard an Irish accent?

Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.
