The Sean Nos Dancing Troupe features a traditional style of dancing that originated in the Connemara region (west coast of Ireland). The low to ground stepping out to the music, is very relaxed and similar to tap dance. Sean Nos dancing is a very impromptu, rhythmic, and low key accompaniment to a lively traditional Irish band. The footwork "battering" is great fun to watch and listen to. These are typically done as a solo performer or in very small groups and are well suited to all ages.
