Siobhán Butler
NYC

Siobhán Butler is an internationally recognized percussive dancer who has performed with many acts (eg, Celtic Crossroads, Kieran Jordan, Cherish the Ladies). Born in Cambridgeshire, England, Siobhán began Irish dancing at age eight. Greatly successful in competitive step dancing, Siobhán now focuses on the old style, sean-nós dancing, and is influenced by several percussive dance styles (tap, flamenco, flatfooting, cape Breton). Her mission as teacher and dancer is to reunite Irish music and dance. Dance is not only the physical interpretation of the music, but it is also another rhythmic layer of it. With her technical, Irish step dance background mixed with her knowledge of traditional, improvised dance styles, Siobhán brings a unique point of view to dancing.
