A Dance Performance Project for Adults and Young People (aged 14+)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No experience necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country OK is coming to you! Led by Choreographer Siobh\u00e1n N\u00ed Dhuinn\u00edn, Country OK is inspired by the foot-tapping, hip-twisting, heart-wrenching songs of Country music – a live celebration of the spirit of social dances, dance halls and dancing bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join with Siobh\u00e1n to create original choreography, learn new styles, and dance in the final performance with a professional cast as part of Tipperary Dance Festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country OK is free to participants, there is no upper age limit. This is an inclusive project, all are welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dance experience of any kind is useful, but not essential – a love of dance and full commitment to the project are the most important ingredients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
