Martin Largey and Nora Stewart

Martin and Nora recently moved to Australia from Ireland, where Nora, who is Australian, worked in team training and group facilitation. Martin is from Armagh city in Northern Ireland.

They spent much of their time in Ireland travelling to learn the steps and rhythm of set dancing from dance masters and ordinary people. They saw the rise and development of set dancing in Ireland in recent years and now want to pass on the fresh, contemporary and vibrant feel of this style of dance.

Martin has 12 years of experience learning, dancing and teaching sets and is passionate about Irish traditional music. He brings a low, flat rhythmic style of battering steps to the sets that is hypnotic and delightful to watch. Nora on the other hand has been learning dance since she was five years old - ballet, island and Maori dancing - and also got interested in Irish step-dancing. On moving to Ireland she discovered set dancing, and she has been an addict ever since! Her pastime has become her occupation!

Between them they offer a variety of steps and styles and so have something to suit everyone!
