hanagolden Dancers

"When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that
you might ever do nothing but that..."  William Shakespeare

The Shanagolden Dancers is a group of setdancers from all over the
Delaware Valley.  The group was founded in 1994 by Fiona
Dore-Buckley from Shanagolden, County Limerick.  Classes were
held in various locations in the South Jersey Area, eventually
moving to their current locations in Palmyra and Cherry Hill.  Along
with classes, Fiona also began holding monthly Set Dance
Occasions, featuring the very finest traditional musicians on the
East Coast.  The musicians have included the McGillian family
(John, Jimmy and Kevin), the Brennan family (John and Judy), Billy
McComiskey, Danny Flynn, Sean O'Neill, Fintan Malone, Cait Curry,
Darcy Fair, Dennis Gormley and many others.  We were also
fortunate to have a guest drummer from Ireland, the legendary
Aidan Vaughan.  Although Fiona, along with husband Gerry and
children Grainne and Ronan, have returned home to Ireland, the
Shanagolden tradition lives on.  Classes are held twice weekly.  
Monday night classes are held at the Cadbury Center in Cherry Hill,
N.J. from 8-10 PM.  Wednesday night classes are held at the Knights
of Columbus in Palmyra, NJ from 7:30-9:30 PM.  For information on
registration please contact Eileen McCullough at (856)983-7464.





The monthly Set Dance Occasion will resume in October at a NEW
location!  We have been fortunate to acquire the use of the Xavier
Hall at 201 Broadway in Westville, NJ.   For more information or
directions to the monthly occasions,  Eileen McCullough at
(856)983-7464.   October's  occasion will be held on Sunday, Oct. 8th
at 1:30 PM and will feature the music of Kevin & Jimmy McGillian &
friends. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE FOR A GREAT DAY OF
MUSIC AND SET DANCING!  
"Dance for yourself.  If someone else understands, good.  If
not, no matter.  Go right on doing what interests you, and do
it until it stops interesting you."  Louis Horst
"There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a
great deal of good!"  Edwin Denby
