Flyer for Sean Nós Irish Step Dancing Workshop

Our wonderful MHC Dance Department alum Mo Brachfeld will be returning to campus to teach a workshop on the exciting form of dance traditional in Ireland known as Sean Nós. Unlike Irish stepdancing (think Riverdance), Sean Nós is a more casual type of solo percussive dance, similar to tap dance and other clogging traditions. We will be socially distant throughout this workshop for safety, and enjoying live music the whole time!

For a fun example of this tradition in action, check out Emma O'Sullivan improvising on the street! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYxRbgVfEqs Come to our workshop in the Great Room to be almost as good as she is!

Please plan on attending the entire workshop as we will be building skills throughout :)
