Dance as a Performance Art: Discussion
Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I thank the witnesses for their contributions. They were informative and interesting. This is not an art form I know much about. I am a musician. Will the witnesses detail what areas of the art form are most popular among younger people and various age groups? Irish music is my area. I see sean-nós dancing is very popular. Some older neighbours of mine are learning it. Others include Irish dance and ballet. What are the popular areas of the art form at present? What is the Arts Council funding and how does it compare to other areas?
