One of the best things about exploring a new city is not knowing what kind of street performers you will bump into.

Many times, street performers help tourists see the culture of the city and country that they are visiting.

When walking the streets of Galway, Ireland it is always a treat to watch the Irish dancers performing.

One of those dancers is the All-Ireland Champion, Emma O’Sullivan.
