I think anyone who attended the dance workshop at Féile Átha Dá Chab 2007 would agree that whoever took on the job of dance instructor in 2008 would have a hard act to follow, after Edwina Guckian's stellar workshop in Ballydehob for the first year of the festival. However, we have just the man for the job in Ronan Regan from Salthill in Galway.
Described by many as a natural teacher with an infectious love of dance, Ronan has performed extensively at events such as Cóilín Sheáin Dharach Festival and the Inis Bofin Arts Festival and in venues such as the National Concert Hall in Dublin and the Cutler Emerson Majestic Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. An experienced teacher of sean-nós, Ronan released an internationally acclaimed instructional DVD called ‘Dance Sean-Nós’ with Maldon Meehan in 2005. In 2006, he won the RTE/Arts Council “Dance on the Box” Award and choreographed the short film “Why the Irish Dance That Way”, which has appeared in numerous film festivals both at home and abroad.
Deirtear go bhfuil feith nádúrtha na múinteoireachta ann, le grá tógálach don rince. Togha rinceora ag féiltí éagsúla, Féile Cóilín Sheáin Dharach agus Féile Ealaíne Inis Bóifine ina measc, is in áiteanna cosúil leis an gCeoláras Náisiúnta i mBaile Átha Cliath agus an Amharclann ‘Cutler Emerson Majestic’ i mBoston, Massachusetts. Is múinteoir rince ar an sean-nós é le an-chuid taithí. Sa bhliain 2005, i dteannta Maldon Meehan é d’eisigh sé dlúthdhiosca múinteoireachta ‘Dance Sean-Nós’ ar a bhfuil clú agus cáil go hidir náisiúnta.
