Cork Dance Theatre was set up in early 2014 by Julette Jones with an ambition to bring a vibrant cultural feast of Irish music and dance to Cork city. The tourist-focused and – let’s be honest – rather quaint theatrics of wiggery and sparkles that have dominated the global perception of Irish dancing is all well and good, but Celtic Clash vows to inject some innovation and a fresh approach into Ir
ish music and dance. Celtic Clash is made up of extremely talented young Irish musicians and dancers who are currently studying at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at Limerick. Launching this May, this incredible troupe of dancers and musicians promise a ‘reel fusion’ of the traditions of Irish music and dance with fresh sounds and steps. Celtic Clash promises to be a ground-breaking tour-de-force of Irish culture. Make sure to catch a show this summer!
