”When Kieran dances, you cant help but be drawn in. Ive never seen anyone so connected to the music. I think she is very true to both the roots and progression of Irish dance. If you get a chance to see her dance or to learn from her, take it! Kieran is inspiring.“

—Ananda Henriksen, Dancer, Brigham Young University
