A native of Norfolk, VA, Erin began Irish Dance at age 12. After competing for several years, she stepped away from the sport to focus on her other love, horses. After moving to Lexington for work, Erin returned to dance by joining the McTeggart Adult program in 2015. Being part of McTeggart has helped her rediscover her love for Irish Dance. She began teaching with our adult program in 2021. Since joining McTeggart, she has been a member of the 2022 North American Champion Adult Ceili Team, as well as multiple Oireachtas champion teams. Erin is passionate about helping adults find the magic in Irish dance and culture, while trying something new. She has an M.S.Ed in Sports Management from Old Dominion University, and a B.A in Equine Studies from Virginia Intermont College, where she was also a member of the Equestrian team. Erin currently resides in Lexington with her cat, Salem and off-track thoroughbred, JP.
