Autumn Tour - Tipperary & Limerick City
OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
A Dance Performance Project for Adults and Young People (aged 14+). No experience necessary.
Country OK is coming to you! Led by Choreographer Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín, 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.
Join with Siobhán to create original choreography, learn new styles, and dance in the final performance with a professional cast.
Country OK is free to participants, there is no upper age limit. This is an inclusive project, all are welcome.
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!
