Remarkably, Gerard is also a member of the McNelis Cunningham Dancing School who were celebrating earlier this week when another dancer from the school, Emily Colangelo won a world title at the finals in North Carolina.

Pictured here are Emily and Gerard pictured earlier this week in the Arainn Mór banquet suite in North Carolina.
