Kerrie Milne’s work begins in Dublin, but its influence extends far beyond Ireland. As the founder of Fly Dance Studio and an established choreographer and educator, Milne has built a career that connects local dancers with training environments across Europe, the United States, and the wider international dance community.
Her teaching has taken her to studios, camps, and conventions in destinations including Italy, Ibiza, and the United States. While these opportunities reflect the reach of her individual career, they also shape the experience of the dancers she trains at home. The international rooms Milne works in, and the standards, teaching methods, and creative exchange they bring, feed back into the classes, crews, and young artists she develops in Dublin.
An International Teaching Path
Milne is widely recognized for her background in two influential dance crews, ReQuest Crew and The Royal Family, both of which have earned significant standing within international hip-hop dance. She has since developed her own profile as an educator, choreographer, and studio founder, recognized as the founder of Fly Dance Studio and Fly International, appearing on international lineups and teaching dancers across multiple countries, including at Fair Play Dance Camp in Kraków, Poland, one of Europe’s largest educational dance festivals.
Her international work is not limited to one-off guest classes. Milne has taught at multi-day international dance camps, intensives that bring together dancers and teachers from different parts of the global dance scene. She has also taught at conventions beyond Ireland, with recent international lineups highlighting her role as an educator and creative leader within both the Dublin and global dance communities.
These credits matter because they represent more than travel. They reflect a professional network built through repeated participation in high-level training spaces, where choreographers must connect with new students, adapt to different communities, and continue producing work that resonates beyond their home city.
From Student to Faculty
One of the clearest examples of Milne’s long-term international development is her relationship with Monsters of Hip Hop in the United States. Her connection with the convention began when she attended as a student. She later became a cast member in the Monsters Show before progressing into an ongoing role as a faculty member and choreographer.
That trajectory, from student to performer to faculty, speaks to sustained professional growth rather than a single appearance or isolated credit. It also shows how Milne has remained connected to the convention ecosystem over time, developing the kind of experience that comes from working alongside dancers and teachers from a range of backgrounds.
Milne has emphasized that this international dimension is essential to understanding the full scope of her work. Rather than existing separately from her Dublin-based studio, her convention and teaching roles inform the perspective she brings back to Ireland.
Bringing Global Experience Home
For many aspiring dancers, international conventions and overseas training opportunities are not always financially or practically accessible. A teacher with current experience in those environments can help bridge that gap.
Milne’s students in Dublin benefit from training with someone who remains active within international dance spaces. The value is not simply that she has travelled or collected credentials; it is that she continues to work within evolving creative environments and brings those influences into her own classes, choreography, and mentorship.
A dancer who may never attend a convention in the United States or train at an intensive in Ibiza can still gain exposure to the expectations of those spaces through a teacher who moves between them. That can include performance discipline, choreography approaches, audition awareness, musicality, confidence, and an understanding of how dancers are expected to work in competitive and professional settings.
This is particularly meaningful for young Irish dancers building ambitions beyond their local scene. Milne’s career offers a practical example of how an artist can develop internationally while continuing to invest in the community that shaped them.
A Studio Built for Growth
Fly Dance Studio serves as Milne’s permanent base in Dublin, offering weekly dance classes across levels and age groups as well as opportunities for dancers who want to pursue training more seriously. The studio has also been described as a home for multiple dance crews, reflecting a structure that combines open-access classes with performance- and competition-oriented development.
That model aligns closely with Milne’s own background. Having worked within internationally recognized crews before building her own studio platform, she approaches dance not only as a recreational activity but also as a discipline that can lead to performance, competition, choreography, and professional growth.
The studio’s impact is therefore shaped by more than its timetable. It is shaped by the experience of the person leading it: an educator who has trained, performed, and taught in different countries, then used that experience to create opportunities for dancers in Dublin.
A Wider View of Irish Dance Talent
A quick online search may identify Kerrie Milne as the founder of a Dublin dance studio. That is true, but it does not fully capture the international work behind the studio’s approach.
Her past membership in ReQuest Crew and The Royal Family, her founding role with Fly International, her teaching appearances at events such as Fair Play Dance Camp, and her continuing teaching and choreography role with Monsters of Hip Hop all contribute to a broader picture of her career.
Milne’s international credentials are not separate from her work in Ireland. They are part of what gives it depth. By continuing to teach abroad while developing dancers at home, she creates a bridge between Dublin’s local dance community and the wider industry beyond it.
