Rooted in local heritage and open to all, this project brings people together through the universal language of movement and rhythm, as the unique dance traditions of North Kerry are rediscovered and celebrated.
Four exciting strands bring the project to life:
- Rhythms of the Land – Journey into the life and legacy of Jeremiah Molyneaux and his distinct North Kerry dance style.
- The Music Moves Us – Explore the improvisational spirit of sean nós dancing and its deep ties to regional traditions.
- Circles of Tradition – Step into the social heartbeat of the past with céilí and crossroads dancing, once a vibrant part of life in places like Finuge.
- Sharing the Step – Celebrate the rich tapestry of community life in North Kerry through folk dances from diverse backgrounds.
Each strand includes interactive talks, community discussions, dance workshops, public events and a final performance blending dance, music, and storytelling. Whether you're a dancer, a listener, or simply curious come join us and be part of North Kerry’s living tradition!
Booking is required for the workshops and final performance.
Please note that the details of events listed above are provided by the relevant Local Authorities.
