Dragún Irish Dancers is a group of eager Irish dancers who wanted more than just one or two dance lessons a week – we had to get to dance more often. The group performed on various events and got also enthusiastic about competing in the Nordic Feis of Irish Dancing. The group originally started in 2006 but didn’t find it’s name until 2008. In addition to their own practises the Irish dancers also practise at the University of Turku and at the Jazz Dance School of Mona Koivunen.
