Corda Mor Dancers

What’s your name?

Frannie O’Brien

How old were you when you started dancing?

What’s your favorite dance and why do you love it?

Treble Jig, I love all the rhythm pieces that can be put into steps, and I really like the music we dance to!

Why is Irish Dancing at Corda Mor so important to you?

Corda Mor has given me such a great community of supporters that show their love no matter what. Through exciting and disappointing results, I know my best friends will always be there at my side. I also always feel like I can be myself at class, which is why I love coming to class!

What is your favorite memory from your Irish Dance experience?

Although not a specific memory, the St. Patrick’s day shows are always a highlight of my year! In 2024, I got a chance to preform in a dance I have looked up to for years, which was a great honor. Since becoming a driller (assistant teacher), I have also gotten the joy to watch all the kids I know have worked so hard in class preform for the first time! During St. Patrick’s day shows, I also get to know and help out some of the newer families!

If you had a superpower what would it be?

If I had a superpower, I would want to be able to communicate with animals! I have three cats and a dog, and I would want to be able to know what they’re really thinking. I love animals so much, so with this superpower I would also go to the zoo and talk to all the animals there!
