Last year, she was New Zealand's first disabled dancer to compete at the World Latin Dance Cup in Miami.
Shenaragh Nemani 21, came home with a first place trophy for the limitess division and an invitation to perform at the Unity Michael Jackson Tribute show in Los Angeles happening on May 27.
Unity is a Latin tribute to the late pop star and members of the Jackson family along with artists Quincy Jones, Judith Hill and Yanis Marshall will be there.
Sheraragh's dance partner at the world cup was Ken Hudson - her "brother from another mother" and son of Petera and Marie Louise Hudson of Salsa on the Awa.
"She has ditched him now and got herself a new partner," says Petera Hudson.
