The Wedding Show
For weddings, the Torc Dancers show is designed for when the band takes a break or before the band begins. Their thirty minute performance will leave your guests amazed and in the party mood, talking about your special day for weeks to come.
The Torc Dancers specialize in both Irish Step and Sean Nós techniques of dance which add that extra variety to our performance such as dancing on barrels, battle of the Sean Nós Versus the modern Irish Step dancers.
Some numbers featured in our show are,
- Slip Jigs, the gracefulness and elegance of the female dancers as they perform this number in the traditional light shoe.
- Corn Phíopa (Hornpipes), danced in the traditional heavy shoe and increasingly becomes faster with the dancers feet moving swiftly to the rhythm of the music.
- The Brush Dance which is the Sean Nós style of Irish Dance, this number is a show stopper and leaves your guests wanting to try it out for themselves, even the bride and groom!!!
- Accapella, this dance is performed without music.
- Modern Versus Sean Nós, the rhythms of the modern Irish Dance against the beats of the Sean Nós style of dance. This high stepping performance always gets a great cheer from your guests and no show is complete without some Tipping Reels.
