Sean-nós & Set Dance Classes

Sean-nós literally meaning “old style” in Irish, the style is an exciting, improvised battering style dance, characterized by a loose, playful upper body, close to the floor steps and a strong musicality. Up until recently, sean-nós dance has been kept alive in the remote areas of Connemara Gaeltacht, passed along through family/community lines.

Examples of both are shown below! In Ireland Set and Sean-nós Dancing is extremely popular among men and women both!
