Scott Doherty is the 2009 Seniors Men’s World Champion originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Scott was trained by the world renowned Rita O’Shea, her daughter Lisa Chaplin, and the amazing team of teachers at the O’Shea-Chaplin Academy of Irish Dance.
Scott’s story is unique - going from one of the last competitors in his age group to World Champion in less than 5 years. Because he accomplished all that when he was 17-22 years old, he remembers every step, every piece of advice, and every key to becoming his best both mentally and physically. Now it’s his greatest passion helping dancers do the same. He considers himself lucky that his hard work paid off and led to success in competitions as well as touring the world for years with many shows including Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. More recently, Scott started his own production company, Colony Point Creative, creating touring shows as well as consulting and building productions for theme parks and casinos all across America.
