Traditional Irish Dance - In-person

with Culkin School of Traditional Irish Dance

In celebration of St Patrick's Day, please join us for an hour of traditional Irish dance and music!

Olney Library welcomes the Culkin School of Irish Dance back to the branch for another lively and rousing performance! FOR ALL AGES, NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED.

The Culkin School of Irish Dance was founded in 1997 by Sean and Denise Culkin. The school prides itself on its sense of community and has been able to foster relationships that last a lifetime through the ties of Irish culture and the interest in Irish dance.

For many years, Sean has been a Branch Officer of Comhaltas Ceoltóiri Éireann (CCE), part of a global organization devoted to Irish traditional music and culture in the Washington, DC area. Sean’s involvement in CCE has led to tremendous opportunities for Culkin dancers. The school's dancers have danced to the accompaniment of world renown Irish musicians at Strathmore, Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, BlackRock Center for the Arts, the Irish Embassy and The White House.
