Maldon Meehan is a graduate of the Evergreen State College, and her love for Irish dance has led to twenty years of teaching experience. She earned her MA from Ireland’s University of Limerick in their Ethnochoreology program.
Maldon grew up dancing Irish sets with her father, when she discovered Irish sean-nós dance in her early 20s Maldon knew that it was a perfect fit. She loves to share this art form and teach all over America while still pursuing other forms of dance like Irish old-style dance, Cape Breton, Irish set, and Appalachian Clogging among others.
Maldon has performed on the nationally televised 2005 Oireachtas at the Cork Opera House in Cork City (TG4) as well as on Connemara Community Radio and Raidió na Gaeltachta (RTÉ). Maldon placed 3rd in the 2005 Comórtas Chóilín Sheáin Dharach, a sean-nós jig competition held in Connemara. In 2005 Maldon and Ronan Regan released the first-ever instructional DVD of sean-nós dance. Today the DVD has been sold all over the world.
She has performed on stage at venues such as Milwaukee Irish Festival (Wisconsin), the Boffin Arts Festival (Ireland), and Portland Christmas Revels. She currently lived in Oregon where she teaches online.
