dancemagazine.com: As Beyoncé sang, Sardin—wearing a short blazer dress, a cowboy hat, ruffled white socks, and hard Irish dance shoes—began a solo at the stage’s center. When the pop star strutted off for a costume change, the music sped up, and Sardin’s feet flew to match the tempo. She was spotlighted on the jumbotron for the tens of thousands of fans in the audience; crowds cheered wildly throughout her solo, which at times broke away from traditional Irish dance form and ended in a strong flamenco pose.

I have always thought that people who can dance are truly amazing because it is something I am terrible at. Therefore, this article about Kaitlyn Sardin’s journey was very inspiring to me. She is amazing for appearing on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, and bringing Irish dance to one of the world’s biggest stages. She also succeeded in introducing a new dance style by fusing the traditional Irish form with hip hop, Afrobeat, and other contemporary styles. I think that Sardin has shown people that dance is a living language, capable of evolving and reflecting personal identity while still honoring its roots. I also really admire her resilience in the face of racism and online negativity, which is something I am not sure I would be strong enough to handle. I think it is wonderful that she is continuing to share her work boldly and opening doors to others who might not have imagined themselves in Irish dance. The fact that she not only achieved a childhood dream but also carved out her own lane in the industry shows her determination, and I really admire that.
