Dance for the Camera Four: Part 6 - Billy Boys

See TV listings for this programme

Dance for the Camera is a series of unique short dance films, made collaboratively by choreographers and directors and conceived especially for television. This part explores the Irish Troubles through Irish dance.

Director
Tony Keane

Choreographer
Dominic Graham

Composer
Neil Martin

A group of girls set off through the streets of Belfast for their Irish dancing classes. On the way they encounter a group of Protestant boys who, in turn, are on their way to drumming rehearsals at the Orange Lodge for the 12th of July parades.

Despite the differences, both cultural and religious between Protestant and Catholic in Northern Ireland, something links these two communities: dance. On the dance floor the two traditions can meet, showing there is as much that divides the two communities in Northern Ireland.
