at festivals and other cultural events. It has shown its choreographies at many famous
places as, for example, Prague Congress Centre, Tesla Arena Prague (celebrating ten years
of Irish dance in the Czech Republic) or the crowded Trafalgar Square in London (during
celebrations of St. Patrick´s Day). Performing in a TV talent show, Rinceoirí managed to
make it to the finals in 2010. In the same year, Rinceoirí became the winner of the Dance

was awarded the CIBCA Cultural Oscar for spreading the Irish culture in the Czech
Republic.
