MOULIN ROUGE
It's hard work being a Moulin Rouge showgirl. There are punishing performances twice a day, workouts in between and only one day off a week.
But the daughter of Olympian Lisa Curry and ironman Grant Kenny is relishing the experience.
Morgan Kenny began rehearsals last week at the dazzling French cabaret after landing in Paris the week before.
Having actively avoided the limelight all her life, Morgan will soon be taking to one of the world's most famous stages - the Moulin Rouge.
With the help of her proud mother, Lisa, who took her musician friend Joel Walkenhorst, 29, along for the ride, the 20-year-old is settling into her Parisian lifestyle.
She had just enough time for a quick tour of the city of love's famous sites, its shops and cafes before the first rehearsal on Thursday.
The bubbly dancer described her first day as "lovely".
"It was good but difficult. It's hard work being a showgirl! So many little things that need to be perfect all the time. Legs are very sore but it will all fall into place, I'm sure," said Morgan, who joins an elite troupe of 60 international dancers.
