Portrait shot of Heather Wright

Heather Wright

Irish Dance

  1. Grantee | November 2019

At 16, Heather has already attained multiple National and International wins and awards - top 3 at the NZ nationals for the past 7 years and top 15 in Australia for the past 6 years. Her dancing was inspired not through the usual Irish family connections, but by being transfixed at a Riverdance show. With training in ballet, contemporary, jazz and musical theatre, Heather also loves teaching and supporting younger dancers through choreography. This Grant helps Heather to the 2020 World Champs in Ireland to compete, learn and grow towards her ultimate goal as an international dancer/choreographer.
