A special free taster and audition session for Limerick Youth Dance will take place at Dance Limerick on Wednesday 3 September from 6pm-8pm.  Limerick Youth Dance is a great way to develop as a dancer, to perform on stage and screen and to meet other young dancers, so all young people aged 15-25 are welcome to come along on September 3rd and give dance a go.

Announcing details of the new season, Jenny Traynor, Director of Dance Limerick said “As a resource organisation for dance in Limerick, we aim to provide opportunities for dance to be created and experienced by all ages and by professional and non-professional dancers alike.  For our new season, we have added some new dance clubs for our younger communities and have made some changes to our classes for adults and older people.  For the professional community, we also have a nice series of professional morning classes with visiting artists so, all in all, we’re very excited about our new programme and hope to get everyone moving this autumn!”
