Kirsty has performed with the company MT4YOUTH where West End choreographers and directors were involved. Kirsty has also taken part in a range of voluntary work. One such example would be when she and other artists performed in Stormont for the organisation, Donation of Heart Foundation. This was an event to raise awareness and money for the organisation. Additionally, She has choreographed productions for St Louise’s Comprehensive Collage & Urban Funk Dance Crew, in West Belfast. With her bachelor’s degree in Dance at De Monfort University in Leicester, she has undertook different dance genres within her studies such as; Ballet, Contemporary, African dance and mixed fusion dance. Kirsty completed a solo at the university which gained a 1st and it was selected for the university dance festival that many students applied for and only four were chosen.
