This project aims to add historical accounts of the Dancehall Era to Kerry’s archives. Performer Jade O’ Connor is looking to interview people who used to attend social dances in Kerry. 

She would love to hear about the halls you frequented, the dances you danced, music or bands you loved, romances or friendships you had, and any other stories related to the time.

Email jadeoconnor86@gmail.com or call 087 985 0367 to organise a time to speak with Jade.

Keep an eye out for upcoming community dance workshops exploring influences from Jive, céilí dances and dancing at the crossroads with a contemporary dance twist.
