“It takes courage to step into our world of no sight… I would definitely be using Chris [McCausland] as a great example to the dance community that anything is truly possible.” Meabh Conneely, a 19-year-old blind Irish dancer from Galway, is proving that passion and perseverance know no limits. She has mastered Irish dance at a high level, using techniques like audio descriptions and auditory cues. Her message is clear: you don’t need perfect vision to dance — you need heart, courage, and two turned-out feet!
