A Reel of Primary Colors

St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just about the green!

I’m excited to be featured on Psychology Today in an article by Maureen Seaberg about my “colored movement” synesthesia in Irish dance. A Reel of Primary Colors talks about my bright reels, pastel slip jigs, and earthy hornpipes, and my plans for St. Patrick’s Day this year.

Rebecca McGowan and I performed a cute little 2-hand reel during the break at a rockin’ evening of contra, square, and Irish set and céili dances for St. Patrick’s Day. The music was provided by the Sligo Creek Stompers, and a good time was had by all!
