Munster Stand Up and Dance
During Lockdown 2020, dancers from each county in Munster took part in an Inter County Irish Dance Challenge. All dancers were invited to represent their county and this resulted in an incredible 1100 videos of talented dancers from Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford. Each video was presented by Marty Morrissey and supported by county GAA heros.
