It MOVES Us: Music and Dance of Planet Earth

Piper Call and Inisheer Irish Dance company performing with the An Triur band

Inisheer Irish Dance Company began rehearsing in March, 2003, and has been practicing, perfecting and expanding their performances ever since.   The goal of Inisheer Irish Dance Company is to share the depth and diversity of Irish dancing, which includes both “Sean nos” (Old Style) and “Nua nos” (New Style) traditions.  The Company has seen dancers come and go over the years, but it is always open to people of all ages who are willing to work hard and enjoy good “craic” (fun).  We are currently made up of six very experienced and dedicated dancers who can perform a dazzling array of Irish dance styles and traditions.

From the beginning, the group decided to create a show that did not attempt to duplicate “Riverdance,” but to develop a unique performance and experience for audiences, which sometimes includes them in the dancing!  Inisheer dances to live music to create a distinctive performance.  Currently the band “An Triur” is collaborating with the Inisheer Dancers.  “An Triur” means “Three people” in Irish Gaelic – those three lads are John Maze, Mick Richmond and Larre Reeves – all renowned and well-respected Irish musicians, who have taught and performed all over the U.S.    

Piper Call is the founder of, and director/choreographer for Inisheer.  Inisheer is the name of the smallest of the Aran Islands off the coast of County Clare in Ireland.
