Frankfort’s Kerrigan is first lady of ‘Lord of the Dance’

Kerrigan said she made the right choice because she is step-dancing to her heart’s content in Michael Flatley’s “Lord of the Dance.”

The show will be staged twice on Feb. 26 at the Rosemont Theatre.

“As a gymnast, you’re always training for the Olympics, and it’s very competitive,” Kerrigan said. “You need an incredible commitment. You also need the same kind of day-and-night, all-consuming focus for Irish dancing.

“My father’s family immigrated from Ireland, and when I realized I would be dancing as my ancestors did, I couldn’t help but choose Irish dancing.”
