"Some of the best new dance takes a page out of fusion cuisine's recipe's book. Dance company Spug Motion performs an eclectic mix of modern dance, freestyle club dancing and traditional Irish step. They don't alternate dance styles so much as combine them into an organic whole. Look for fast-footed dancers and hip-hop moves."

Spug : Definition
n. a state of mind
v. to listen to one’s self
adj. rocken’


Spug Motion is the result of over 10 years of blending modern, Irish, and hip hop movements together through improvisation and intuition.

This contemporary collaboration of artists is brought together under the direction of Sinead Kimbrell, retired club kid and professional Irish dancer. Sinead lets the dynamics of the movement lead Spug Motion while using the individual talents of the Spuggers to shape the finished project. She started her dance career at the age of five and dreams of finishing when she’s 92.
