DancingxCrossroads

A celebration of dance and nightlife in the heart of Waterford city, commissioned by Spraoi and created by local dance artist Rachel Ní Bhraonáin. Presented on the opening night of Spraoi Festival 2025 on Michael Street, Waterford.

Bringing the energy of the nightclub to our city streets with a DJ set by R.Kitt and pulsating performances by a core crew of 6 of the South East’s most talented dancers, two youth dancers, two salsa dancers and a 30 person-strong community cast - this was a show and a party. We celebrated the legacy of great nights in our city and conjured up dreams of our future. Our audience was immersed in the drum beat, lifted by the movement and swept up in the crowd.
