Learn Old-Style Hornpipe Steps at this intermediate level workshop with Brenda O’Callaghan.

Brenda O’Callaghan, originally from Co. Roscommon, has a background in traditional Irish dance both as a dancer and a teacher.  Now based in Co. Sligo, she has been involved in the teaching of old-style step dancing for many years both locally and at summer schools and festivals throughout Ireland.  As a founder member of the Cos Cos Dance Group in 2000, Brenda has performed at numerous events and is the cornerstone of the Cos Cos Sean Nós Dance Festival held in May each year.

Brenda is always keen to share her love of rhythms and dance and will be teaching old-style hornpipe steps which she learnt as a child.  For her it is not just about preserving the traditions of the past but opening up the pleasurable world of dance for others to enjoy!
