Iontas Am Lóin le Bridie Flaherty

Fáilte go hIontas Am Lóin, sraith ceardlanna cruthaitheacha saor in aisce do mhuintir Baile Átha Cliath le linn Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026.

Tá an rince agus an ceol fite fuaite lena chéile ar an oileán seo ó thuas aimsire. Seo duit deis neamhfhoirmiúil chun céimeanna rince sean-nóis a foghlaim! Mura bhfuil aon chur amach agat ar damhsa cheana féin, ná bí buartha! Déanann Bridie a dícheall i gcónaí an damhsa a dhéanamh taitneamhach agus inrochtana do chách.

Rugadh agus tógadh Bridie Flaherty in aice le Chicago, Meiriceá. Ní raibh sí ach ceithre bliana d’aois nuair a thosaigh sí ar a aistear rince. Nuair a bhog sí go hÉirinn i 2022 chun máistreacht i mBéaloideas agus Eitneolaíocht a dhéanamh, thosaigh sí ag rince ar an sean-nós an seit. Thosaigh sí ag foghlaim na Gaeilge timpeall an t-am céanna — agus d'fhoghlaim sí roinnt Gaeilge ar an t-urlár rince leis! I measc a múinteoirí tá Lillie Crossley, Louise O’Connor, agus Edwina Guckian. Tá Bridie lonnaithe anois i mBaile Átha Cliath agus oibríonn sí i dTaisce Cheol Dúchais Éireann.

Tá Iontas Am Lóin léirithe ag an ealaíontóir idirdhisciplíneach Amano De Londra Miura agus óstáilte i gcomhoibriú le Stiúideonna FLUX.

Le tacaíocht ón Chiste Spreagtha, Seachtain na Gaeilge, Conradh na Gaeilge agus An Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail.

Welcome to Iontas Am-Lóin, a free creative workshop series for Dubliner's during Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026.

Dance and music have been intertwined on this island for centuries. Here is a relaxed opportunity to learn sean-nós dance steps! If you have no prior dance experience, don’t worry - Bridie always strives to make the dance enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

Bridie Flaherty was born and raised near Chicago, USA. She began her dance journey at the age of four. When she moved to Ireland in 2022 to pursue a master’s degree in Folklore and Ethnology, she began dancing sean-nós an seit. She began learning Irish around the same time — and she learned some Irish on the dance floor too! Her teachers include Lillie Crossley, Louise O’Connor, and Edwina Guckian. Bridie is now based in Dublin and works at Taisce Cheol Dúchais Éireann.

Iontas Am-Lóin is curated by interdisciplinary artist Amano De Londra Miura and hosted in collaboration with FLUX Studios.

With support from An Chiste Spreatha, Seachtain na Gaeilge, Conradh na Gaeilge and Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.
