Kildare Dance Summer School

The Kildare Dance Summer School was established in 2003 as a bi-annual event at NUI Maynooth. The Summer School programme is based on Laban fundamentals i.e. The Body, Space, Effort, Relationship. It was initially devised in order to provide Laban Guild Community Dance Leader Course participants with the opportunity to attend a Summer School in Ireland. (Attendance at an approved Summer School is required as part of this course). However it has attracted a much broader range of people and is open to those with no previous experience of dance or Laban's work.
