We're back again with another Irish artist guide brought to you by BPM Energy, the iconic energy drink that was created in Ireland for the Irish people, to showcase some of the best examples of the unmistakable energy which can be observed in Irish artists' work.
Whether it's music, visual art or dance, there's something in the way Irish artists express themselves that just can't be replicated elsewhere. In celebration of that, we're showcasing the crème de la crème of Irish dancers as part of BPM's Find Your Energy campaign.
Check out some of the
best Ireland has to offer in the world of dance but be prepared, you
might just break out into dance yourself wherever you are, as these
dancers have an infectious vibe that inspires
others to find their energy.

Cairde
Cairde are a group of seven young lads from Clare, Cork and Galway who have been competing in Irish dancing competitions for years. In 2020 however, they took their success to a whole new level after they blew up on TikTok, pairing high energy Irish dancing routines with chart hits. Fast forward a few months and the group found themselves dancing on Good Morning America, performing their own original routine to Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. It's safe to say there's no stopping the Cairde boys at the moment.
