Eimear Mulvey on Sean Nós
Award-winning sean nós dancer Eimear Mulvey is irrepressible in her enthusiasm for teaching traditional Irish dance to children and adults. Interviewed at the South Sligo Summer School in Tubbercurry, Eimear talked to us about the origins of sean nós, its intersection with set dancing, and her approach to leading children on a journey of discovery and self expression through dance.
