Master Classes: Dance Irish Dance
with Irish dance legend Colin Dunne
Sunday, May 8 | 2 pm - 4:30 pm
“For Colin Dunne—one-time Riverdance performer— tradition is something to be carefully maintained… But that doesn’t mean he can’t deconstruct step dancing and put it together again in his own inimitable fashion.” -The Irish Times
This class, led by award winning dancer and choreographer Colin Dunne, will have a strong focus on musicality, finding a sense of flow in movement and rhythm, and an emphasis on losing tension in the upper body.
Colin Dunne is a leading figure in the world of traditional Irish dance. Perhaps best known internationally for his performances and choreography in Riverdance and Dancing on Dangerous Ground, he has been forging a new creative path since his time as artist in residence at University of Limerick where he completed an MA in contemporary dance in 2002. Since then he has worked as an independent performer, choreographer and teacher.
