Irish Treble is a collective of dancers dedicated to promoting Irish dance and entertaining audiences with lively rhythms and steps. Their performances, suitable for all ages, blend both traditional and contemporary elements. The repertoire ranges from 18th-century traditional dances to present-day "show-style" choreographies, all performed to the beats of reels, jigs, slip-jigs, and other characteristic Irish musical rhythms.
What is the Irish broom dance?
The Irish broom dance, a traditional Sean Nós dance that dates back over a century, involves leaping over a broom and executing an array of rhythmic steps to the tune of traditional Irish music, generally accompanied by instruments such as harps and fiddles.
This dance form is typically more casual than other dance styles and is a common feature at social gatherings and festivals. It is also a popular choice in dance competitions, allowing dancers to demonstrate their talent and agility.
