The only female Irish dancer to feature in the upcoming Wicked movie starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Sarah Finnan sat down with Emer Walsh ahead of the film’s release to find out what life on set was really like.

Originally from Bray (home to other Irish talents like Laura Whitmore, Dara Ó Briain, Hozier and Katie Taylor), Emer Walsh has done it all throughout her career – from working as a dancer to moving her way up the ladder to assistant, choreographer and later, creative director. 

During that time, she’s built up an incredibly impressive portfolio of work and has collaborated with just about every big name you can think of, including—but not limited to—global artists like Kelly Rowland, The Black Eyed Peas, Sugababes and Take That. She’s also choreographed for shows such as Eurovision, The Voice, The X Factor, So You Think You Can Dance and more… hers is quite the CV, I think you’ll agree.
