Sciorr are a six piece Irish dancing group from Sheffield.. Separately they have been performing since they were five or six, but they have been dancing together as a group since 2003.

 

They have appeared at many festivals around the UK including Sidmouth, Warwick and Cheltenham, as well as performing at international festivals in Poland and at the World Folkloriada in Hungary.

Sciorr choreograph all their own dances and have adopted a more laid-back style than the competition- based Irish dancers.
