I'm Niamh, I'm 27 years old, and I was born and raised in Donegal.
I have a passion for Irish dance, teaching, and travel. My twin brother and I started Irish dancing at age four, performing globally as The Shevlin Twins. In 2018, I joined Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance and performed the female lead role of Saoirse for five years. I regularly perform with the cast of Riverdance and have travelled to over 50 countries on six continents with my dancing. Having many dreams realised, I now aim to pass on my passion for Irish dance to younger generations.
I have recently qualified as a primary school teacher, and I teach young children in schools around the county. My teaching has also expanded to Africa. After traveling to Uganda in March 2023 with Irish Aid, I began teaching weekly online lessons, aiming to ignite a passion for Irish dance in children from the world's poorest regions.
