The DRFI seminar on Youth Dance Culture was held on Wednesday 10th October 2007 at the University of Limerick. It was a very successful event and was well attended by our members, students and other professionals and interested members of the public.
In keeping with the aims of the DRFI, we are making materials from this seminar available to our members and the general public. Below you will find links to information relating to the seminar presentations.
We would like to encourage response and comments to this seminar. Please feel free to use the comment facility on this blog.

DRFI’s 2nd International Conference is being hosted by the The Institute of Technology, Tralee, Co. Kerry, Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th June, 2008.
The conference explores the diverse concepts and methods through which we perform, research, communicate and contextualise dance. What are the challenges and rewards of embracing 21st century culture and how do we share our experience, knowledge and histories of dance? How and what does dance communicate? What are the evolving methodologies for looking at communication and dance? What is the performer-audience relationship? What is the teacher-student relationship? How are aesthetics in dance or other cultural movement systems communicated?
