Choreographer: Belinda Murphy

Belinda Murphy has danced since she was born it seems, she has given the wow factor to shows and musicals around the world and is rated as one of Irelands and in fact Europes foremost dance artists.

Belinda originally from Dublin, was brought up believing that school was important, religion was important, friends were important, happiness was important but that dance was life itself.

Belinda has a multitude of top shows notched onto her belt of success as a dancer and a cast member, she also sings and designs shows, an all in one package but nowadays Belinda concentrates on her students, these range from 3 years of age through to 24+ and she teaches classical, traditional, modern etc. to her pupils. Add to this her full time dedication over the past 15 years with Johnnie Fox's own professional dancers one may be excused into thinking that Belinda might be related to Superman in some form, for as in her youth, to Belinda the joy of dance and teaching is unsurpassed as a lifestyle, her husband and daughter are also very proud of her as are we at Johnnie Fox's.

Production Manager: Fred Rainert

Born in Dublin in 1966, Fred was destined from an early age to be linked with entertainment, (his mother having been a performer of a different sort, a tightrope walker in Circus Krone - Germany).

Working all his life in the hospitality & catering industry Fred has worked his way up through the ranks from Comis Chef to Business Manager, having owned his own restaurant in Kent, England, he really has tried a bit of everything.

Fred has been the dance production and commercial manager of Johnnie Fox's Pub since 2003 and in his time the troupe has grown to double the original size and the show itself at Fox's has changed a lot.

Many aspects are covered as the manager of any production, be the show a large "West End" production or a small local school production, Fred's role is no different. It is diverse and it needs to be as the Fox's troupe perform all year round, not just seasonal or for a few occasions at different venues. It is non stop at Johnnie Fox's (where Fred is based), so the requirements stretch even further. Fred covers the legal aspects, terms and conditions, contracts, etc. He liaises between dancers and clients, oversees payments, costumes, facilities, rehearsals, attendance, technical details and requirements, purchasing and so on. Fred also works closely with Belinda in her role as choreographer and supports her when and where ever needed. Fred doubts he will ever take to the boards himself, well actually he knows he won't unless they make the boards a lot stronger!
