Tigh na Coille

Irish folk dances are one of the most iconic expressions of Irish culture, famous for their energetic movements, rhythmic footwork, and lively music. These dances are often characterized by fast, rhythmic steps and a strong emphasis on the legs and feet, while the upper body usually remains still and upright. It is an art form rooted in Irish folk music that has evolved over the centuries.

“Tigh na Coille” is an Irish term meaning “House of the Woods.” It is a combination of two Irish words: “Tigh” (house) and “Coille” (woods or forest). In many cases, the term is associated with Irish houses or inns that have a close connection to nature or are located in wooded areas. The group consists of 25 energetic, talented young dancers and a large orchestra.
