Sean-Nós Dancer Emma O’Sullivan Joins Trad on the Prom
 |
All-Ireland Sean-Nós Winner Emma O’Sullivan hails from Connemara. Her extraordinary drive and determination in mastering her art has seen her eclipse all other sean-nós dancers with her creative, exciting, and masterful footwork .
Emma found fame in early 2010 when she triumphed over other thousands of other acts to reach the finals of RTE‘s “The All Ireland Talent Show”. She was partnered with box player Johnny O'Halloran from Inishbofin to dance in her flowing, relaxed and spirited style, perfectly matched by Johnny's vigorous playing on a-melodeon. Credited with reviving the age old tradition, Emma showcased her expertise in sean-nós dance and wowed both the judges and the Irish public. She won widespread admiration and acclaim and has since become a household name.
Emma is committed to her art and to bringing the sean-nós style to a new realm.She is planning many exciting new projects including television, stage, collaborating with recording artists and is very much in demand for her skills in choreography. |
