The contribution to Irish dance and music of two of Ireland’s most celebrated Dance Masters, the late Dan Furey (1909-1993) and James Keane (1918-2000), is celebrated each September with the Dan Furey Weekend in County Clare, Ireland. They are credited with being the saviors of the traditional dances of the Labasheeda area and for establishing dance schools throughout West Clare* in the West of Ireland.
