Venue: Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, 37 Great James' Street, Derry, Derry, BT48 7DF
For many years we have championed old style step dancing in the city and this event offers an opportunity for everyone interested in step dancing
Le blianta fada thacaigh muid le damhsa céime ar an tsean-nós sa chathair agus tugann an t-imeacht seo deis do gach duine a bhfuil spéis acu sa damhsa céime, ní hamháin damhsaí a bhfuil taithí orthu, teacht, sult a bhaint astu agus páirt a ghlacadh. I gceardlann Joe beidh damhsaí éagsúla, ríleanna ar an tsean-nós san áireamh.
I ndiaidh na ceardlainne seo beidh "Food for the Soul", léiriú comhoibríoch le Mary McGuiggan, Maura Johnson agus Paraig O'Brien. Sa taibhiú fiosraítear cad é mar a d'imir a fréamhacha Mháire tionchar ar a cuid damhsa – mar bhean níos sine, máthair, seanmháthair, gníomhaí pobail agus comhshaoil.

For many years we have championed old style step dancing in the city and this event offers an opportunity for everyone interested in step dancing - not just seasoned dances - to come along, enjoy and participate. Joe's workshop will include a variety of dances including sean-nós reels.
This workshop is followed by a performance of "Food for the Soul", a collaborative performance by Mary McGuiggan, Maura Johnson and Paraig O'Brien. The performance explores how Mary's roots have influenced her dance - as an older woman, a mother, grandmother, community and environmental activist.
