Ireland! We love the music and the dance! Irish Sean-Nós (sha-nose) literally means “old style.” Individuals perform this beautiful style of dance to their own steps and their own rhythm. Everyone can do it!

Sean-Nós Dance is an old style of dancing that is most associated with the west of Ireland. Sean-Nós dance is low to the ground stepping out to the music, similar to tap dance, and the style is more relaxed than modern Irish step dancing, so it is easy to learn. The footwork is great fun to watch, to do, and especially fun to listen to!

This is a six-week, introductory level of Sean-Nós for those with little or no experience in Irish dancing and will explore the basic footwork and technique, musicality, and improvisation within the old Irish style of dance.
