The opening night of Anne-Sophie Gigan’s Photography Exhibition “Dublin Dancers and Dreams” elegantly hosted by the Alliance Française on January 17 was attended by a busy crowd, which included the French Ambassador and numerous photographers and artists.

The crowd not only marvelled at the 17 striking photographs of dancers of various traditional dance styles with Dublin’s most iconic landmarks as a backdrop, in a stunningly spectacular capture of the cultural richness that Dublin offers but were also awestruck by three live performances by Louise O’Connor (Irish Dancing), Maya Marquez (Oriental Dancing) and Seve Feathers (Handbalancing).
