When traveling and walking the streets of a new city one of the best things to do is immerse yourself in the culture. The people-watching isn’t too shabby either. Most touristy cities have local performers entertaining people on the street.
A trip to Galway, Ireland
Many times, street performers help tourists see the culture of the city and country that they are visiting. When walking the streets of Galway, Ireland it is always a treat to watch the Irish dancers performing. One of those dancers is the All-Ireland Champion, Emma O’Sullivan.
Emma O ‘Sullivan was raised in Connemara, Ireland which is within the county of Galway. Emma has toured the entire globe to dance to traditional Irish music.
The type of Irish dance she performs is Sean-nós, and she is actually known as the Queen of Sean-nós in Ireland! Emma has kept dancing on the streets of Galway for tourists and residents, even with a resume like hers.
A crowd starts to form
Emma is always able to have a crowd of tourists and residents surround her street performances to watch her beautiful dancing.
During one of these performances, one audience member stole the show away from Emma, but even Emma seemed okay with it! That is because the person that stole the show was the cutest little girl that wanted to dance just like Emma!
The tiniest girl joins the show
The performance took place on Shop Street in Galway, Ireland. Once Emma realized she had the cutest little dancer dancing alongside her, she decided to share her “stage”. Emma pointed out the little dancer to her own videographer, so he can video the cuteness! Emma then danced over to the little girl to keep her going!
This little girl was a natural.
The little girl carefully watches Emma’s feet as she tries to copy every move. It seems that once she is comfortable with her feet, she adds in the hands! Once the crowd realizes that Emma has started dancing for the little girl, they all begin to watch her as well. At such a young age and she is already getting an audience for her dance!
The little girl looks towards her family to show off her moves and once she sees their smiling faces, it is game on!
She gets closer to Emma O’ Sullivan to dance with her. Emma and the crowd just loves it as much as the little girl. Many of the phone cameras and cameras from the audience turn their lens to the little girl!
At the end of the performance, the crowd gave a rousing applause! The applause was not only for Emma O’Sullivan but the little girl as well. Even Emma claps for the little girl, who seems to young to understand it! The little girl looks around and started to give little claps as well. Brava!
What a sweet moment for the little girl and for Emma O’Sullivan. For a professional dancer to not only still give street performances but to include this little girl is just amazing!
This moment will not be forgotten by the little girl’s family. Maybe this is just the beginning for the little and her love for dance. Who knows, she could be the next Irish dancing superstar.
