Percussive Choreography Class

We worked on looking at various sean-nos dancers on youtube as well as looking at each dancer in the class and tried to find a style that best suited each of us.

Here are a few of the clips we watched.

We looked and/or talked about the following dancers.
Gerard and Patrick Devane, Kieran Jordan, Aidan Vaughn and Ronan Regan
