I was lucky to take Irish Sean Nós dance classes with Maldon for many years, learning a great repertoire of steps and also digging in to some of the history about where and who each of the steps came from. What I enjoyed most about Maldon’s classes was the opportunity, as intermediate and advanced students, to help contribute to creating choreography and co-creating pieces with the steps we’d learned, some of which we later went on to perform at the Revels and other dance festivals. We felt empowered to dance pieces we’d created together, which made the whole experience far more engaging and fun! Maldon is passionate about dance and about sharing her knowledge and steps with others, whether beginners who have never danced a step before or established dancers coming from other dance mediums.

Maldon is an excellent teacher, a skilled performer, and a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge or Irish dance is both wide and nuanced, and she is an asset to any event that seeks to bring a critical and substantive experience to its members.

Maldon is a fabulous teacher. My daughter and I have been talking her weekly Sean Nos class for several years. She is a patient, understanding and knowledgeable teacher. Her class is informal yet professional. Maldon clearly has a vast worldly and scholarly understanding of dance. She shares interesting facts about the history and important people involved with steps we are learning. She makes class interesting and fun. We look forward to going to class every week!

Sincerely,

Brad Johnson / The Ceili of the Valley Society music coordinator.

I have worked with Maldon Meehan over the past 8 years in our 501C-3 Non profit organization providing community cultural arts & music events. Maldon has provided dance instruction & demonstrations on average 4 times per year instructing as many as 75 to 100 dancers, many of them beginners, for our monthly community Irish dances. We love Maldon's approach to teaching and her ability to put people at ease when instructing our dances. We look forward to continue to hire Maldon for our monthly events. It really is a joy to work with her.
