A History of Irish Dance 8th April 2019
Harbour Hotel, Galway
Sponsored by
Galway Archaeology & History Society

This talk will give a whistle-stop tour through the ages on the subject of Irish Dance - its changes and development. It will cover the dance masters of the 19th century, their flamboyant demeanour and modus operandi.

We will sketch the main social, cultural, economic, religious, political, legal and technological influences brought to bear on the development of our traditional dance and the reciprocal impact on those characteristics of society from the first ceilí in London in 1898 to Riverdance 1994.

There will be an outline on traditional dance development in Galway City from the 1930s and some of the main players who promoted this part of our cultural heritage for recreation and competition.
