A champion sean-nós dancer who started online classes during the pandemic this year is now teaching the traditional Irish dance to people from around the world.
Emma O Sullivan from Derryinver in Connemara (Conamara) began teaching the classes via Zoom for her existing students who would otherwise have missed out due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Pupils for the Zoom-nós classes now include sean-nós dance enthusiasts from Japan, Brazil and the US among others.
Champion sean-nós dancer Emma O Sullivan Zoom-nós is a phrase that one of my students came up with. I think Zoom is definitely becoming everyone s best friend. For me, it s the new parish hall where I go and do my dance classes, Emma explained.
