Irish Sean Nós Dance for Adults

Irish Sean Nós Dance for Adults is a class in the traditional Irish dance style known as sean nós, or “old style.” Originating in Ireland’s Connemara region, sean nós emphasizes improvisation, musical connection, expressive movement, and percussive footwork. Participants will develop their musicality while learning to create a playful, creative dialogue with the music, musicians, and fellow dancers.

The class focuses on close-to-the-floor stepping, a relaxed upper body, basic improvisation, and the development of an individual percussive style. It is designed for beginner and advanced beginner dancers, though dancers of all experience levels are welcome.
