Authentic Irish Dance Workshop with National Folk Theatre of Ireland

Authentic Irish Dance Workshop with National Folk Theatre of Ireland

A unique cultural experience where travellers can get active and learn authentic Irish dance in the National Folk Theatre Training Academy from Ireland’s leading traditional Irish performers. You will learn original dance steps that have been handed down since before the 1700s, and now are part of the National Folk Theatre repertoire. These steps have been documented by the National Folk Theatre Training Academy and passed onto future generations and now visitors to Ireland by professional cast members of the National Folk Theatre.

This hour long workshop can be tailored to the level of the visitor, depending on your experience of dance and energy levels. Following the workshop, you can enjoy a guided tour of the iconic Siamsa Tíre Theatre and Arts centre and visit the Siamsa Galleries and take photos using props and costumes from stage productions.
