Cork County Council is delighted to present a free dance-themed workshop for children aged 9 to 12 as part of the Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations. Taking place on Saturday, June 7th at Bantry Library, this energetic session invites young participants to immerse themselves in The Joy of Dance.

Led by West Cork native Chloé Pisco – an experienced Dance and Circus performer with over two decades of international work -this lively workshop will introduce styles such as contemporary, hip hop, breakdance, animation, robotic, and commercial dance, commonly featured in music videos.

Chloé’s passion for the power of movement is infectious. She believes that dance, as a universal language, brings people together and unlocks shared joy. Her workshop promises an uplifting and inclusive space for self-expression.

This creative event was inspired by a thoughtful idea from a 4th Class student at Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra Bantry National School, submitted through the My Creative Wish initiative, which empowers young voices to shape Cork’s Cruinniú na nÓg celebrations – our national day dedicated to youth creativity.

Space is limited to keep the experience personal, so be sure to email BantryLibrary@corkcoco.ie to book your place.
