Siobhan Butler is an American raised visual artist and traditional percussive dancer based in Ireland.

As a traditional dancer, Siobhan is privileged to have performed and collaborated with many of the leading traditional artists of the North Atlantic including Cherish the Ladies, Kevin Burke, Nic Gareiss, Nuala Kennedy, Kieran Jordan, and John Whelan to name a few. Since moving to Ireland from the US in 2016, Siobhan’s primary dance influences are some of County Clare’s greatest Set dancers and their unique “battering” style. She is honoured to share their steps and stories as oral history, folklore, and heritage continue to serve as huge inspirations for all of Siobhan’s creative work.
