Sean Nos Dance
The international success of Riverdance has made many people in Ireland aware of the treasures hidden within their own culture.
A touching finding: Emma O'Sullivan on the streets of Galway.
As brilliant as this show is, it is also worth taking a look at its origins, which can be found mainly in the west of the island, in Connemara.
Sean Nós dancing did not originate in pubs, concert halls or dance halls, but in the private space of parties and gatherings in the kitchens of homes. Emma O'Sullivan and Johnny Og Connolly bring this atmosphere to life.
