Greg & Aoife

Aoife & GregWhat three words best describe your dance?

Aoife: Energetic – Risky – Amusing

How do you feel now compared to the beginning of rehearsals? (more confident, more nervous?)

Aoife: If I’m honest, I’m worried that our friends and family could be disappointed. We have made a lot of hype about the show and have a lot of people coming to see us. I feel like the dance will be over so fast because of the way the song is edited. That said, I’m sure they will see the bigger picture and realise it is all for a good cause!

Who are you most looking forward to seeing in the audience on the night?

Aoife: My grandmother. She just turned 90 2 weeks ago and is making a special effort to come along to the show – luckily there is wheelchair access.
