Dance master Patrick O’Dea will be in Jackson, MS for a set dancing workshop on Monday, May 16. Based in County Roscommon, Ireland, he is one of the best-known and all-around BEST instructors of sean-nós, (old style) dancing in the world today with a very special knowledge of traditional Irish dancing. Patrick comes through Jackson from Ireland once a year or so, and taking a workshop with him is a direct connection to the Irish dancing masters who have kept this art form and its culture alive for centuries. He’s also a longtime friend of the Jackson Irish Dancers, and we love his visits!
For teens and adults; come one, come all!
The workshop will be at Applause Dance Factory, 242 Stephens Street in Ridgeland, MS from 6 to 7:30 p.m
