Sean-nós on the Hill

Madeline Stevenson has been practicing traditional Irish percussive dance (Sean-nós, old-style step, and set dancing) and music on Capitol Hill since 2013. She joined the Shannon Dunne Dance Company in 2016 and has performed at festivals throughout the region and nation. She is the 2023 U15 Mid-Atlantic Fleadh Champion and has competed twice in the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann ("All Irelands"). Madeline loves introducing young children to traditional Irish dance and music through instruction, play, community, and local gatherings of traditional Irish artists.
