Best known internationally for his performances and choreography in ''Riverdance''〔(Riverdance Official Web Site/Colin Dunne )〕 and ''Dancing on Dangerous Ground'',〔(A Celtic Legend Told Through Feats of Footwork by Anna Kisselgoff March-10-2000 The New York Times )〕 he transitioned to contemporary dance after earning an MA in that style as artist in residence at the University of Limerick in 2002.

==Early life==
Dunne was born May 8, 1968 in Birmingham, England to Irish parents.〔(Birmingham-born Colin Dunne returns to Birmingham for the International Dance Festival ) BBC〕 Colin Dunne took his first lesson in Irish step dance at the age of three with the Comerford School in his hometown. At the age of nine he won his first World Championship title and was the first dancer to win the World, All England and All Ireland titles in the same year. From the age of 12 he was taught by Marion Turley in Coventry and when he retired from competition at the age of 22, he had won a total of nine World, eleven Great Britain, nine All Ireland and eight All England titles. He was influenced from an early age by tap dance - Gregory Hines in particular - which contributed to his often complex approach to rhythm within the structures of traditional Irish music. His musical approach to dance was also aided by his ability to play piano by ear. For years he played as a dance accompanist at competitions in the ragtime style of Irish dance piano music.
At the age of 19 he was the youngest person ever to receive an Irish Post Award in recognition of his achievements in Irish dance. Fellow award winners that year included poet Tom Paulin and theater director Declan Donnellan. Previous winners included Bob Geldof, Daniel Day-Lewis and Brenda Fricker.
