Tipp girl Maya meets Michael thanks to Make a Wish foundation

Michael Flatley has made a south east girl's wish come true.

7 year old Maya Gillick from Tipperary has been dancing since she was three despite battling multiple medical issues, including Down Syndrome.

The Make A Wish Foundation arranged for Maya to meet Michael before the Dublin premiere of his latest show, Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games.

They practised some high kicks and Irish dancing together .

Maya also received a specially designed Irish dancing dress from Make a Wish foundation which her mum Linda says makes her, “the happiest little girl”.

Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games is the 20th anniversary of the original show.

It's running at Dublin's Bord Gais Energy Theatre until Saturday June 25.
