Sean Nós dancing for Beginners with Aneta Dortová

9th January 2018

This is a follow-on workshop from yesterday’s Come&Try. Sean-nós dancing is a traditional form of Irish dance originating in Connemara. Typically performed solo, this style is unique with its low to the ground steps, relaxed upper body and improvisational character. Aneta Dortová’s dancing is a mixture of steps from various styles of percussive dance all based around sean-nós steps. Come and learn some new footwork guaranteed to be enjoyed by people of all ages! Hard-soled shoes are preferable but not compulsory.
