Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre is Ireland’s foremost Aerial Dance Theatre Company based in Co. Westmeath. They have become renowned internationally as a creative organisation that stretches the boundaries between several arts forms, combining aerial skills with contemporary circus and creating theatre fused with aerial dance, music and video art, making contemporary circus and aerial dance accessible.
