This much I know - Niamh O’Connor

You learn to dance through the pain.

Dancing can be hard on the body, but we’re trained to cope with it. When we are on tour we are doing eight shows a week so we have to be mentally as well as physically fit.

I’m the only original troupe member left in the show and hold the record for the most shows performed of Riverdance. Yes, I’d say I’m a loyal person!
