Joan Denise Moriarty (died 24 January 1992) was an Irish ballet dancer, choreographer, teacher of ballet and traditional Irish dancer and musician. She was the founder of professional ballet in Ireland. ==Early life== Little is known of Moriarty's early life. Her year of birth is estimated between 1910 and 1913 but are unconfirmable. The place of birth is also unknown. She was the daughter of Marion (née McCarthy) and Michael Augustus Moriarty, and brought up in England, possibly Liverpool, and studied ballet until her early teens with Dame Marie Rambert. How long she was enrolled in the Rambert School is not known, as there are no records of students, but only of performers.〔Jane Pritchard (Rambert archivist), Fleischmann Papers, University College Cork, 1 May 1996.〕 She was an accomplished Irish step-dancer and traditional musician; she lived in Liverpool with her mother from at least 1931 to 1933 and was a member of the Liverpool branch of the Gaelic League.〔Aideen Rynne: "Joan Moriarty's Early Years", in: Ruth Fleischmann (ed.): ''Joan Denise Moriarty'', pp. 117–121.〕 Her early dance and music awards include: *1931 London: Champion Irish Stepdancer of England at the London Irish Step Dance Championship.
