KIDS EURO FEST 2015 presents The Shannon Dunne Dance Company
Traditional Irish Dance and Music
Saturday, November 7, 2015
11 AM
Fancy footwork, brisk tunes, and colorful costumes all combine to bring the ancient dance arts of Ireland to life! The Shannon Dunne Dance Company — one of the Washington metro area’s premiere schools of Irish dance — present a fast-paced showcase highlighting several styles of Irish dancing, including Sean-nós, Old Style Step, and Set Dance, accompanied by live traditional Irish music. Irish dance was recently popularized by the world-famous stage show Riverdance, but its roots are much older — and with a little help from Shannon and her students, almost anyone can master a few basic steps. The Washington Post has praised Shannon’s work as “spirited and fun!” — and as the dancers whirl to the lively sounds of traditional Celtic jigs, you’ll have a hard time keeping your own feet still!
