When it comes down to the basics, it seems this talented woman has it all, she has got amazing jumps, beautiful feet, a perfect body, and a georgeus head of bright red locks that every girl dreams of! But it is more then just this that makes young grils everywhere worship her.
Jean's carear jump started with the lead role in Riverdance- The Show. She was instantly famous, to both Irish Dancers, and non Irish Dancers. Although she began Irish dance lessons for the first time when she was six, but promptly quit. She was a tomboy and enjoyed things shuch as playing soccer and baseball. As she grew Jean decided she would take up dance lessons again, and as you can see, was a natural. |

Look at her posture, her lift, her height! Every dancer dreams of one day becoming as good as this renowned dancer. Ever since she left the dance world people everywhere have begged her to come back, so we can see more of the famous Jean. And while its true that it is only rumor, Jean may be acting, rather than dancing her way back into the Hollywood World. |
