Ireland is an island full of poetry, myth, music and motion. Stories of mystical creatures and folklore come to life through songs and dances of each Irish region. Head to the Sandler Center for a traditional Irish stepdance performance, and meet and greet, with the fleet-footed dancers from The Rhodes Academy of Irish Dance, along with their national championship fiddlers, Sean Heely and Colin McGlynn! Stay after the performance for a meet and greet and to test your feet with a few basic Irish stepdance moves.

This event is FREE and open to the public, and there is no requirement to register in advance. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Hillary Plate, Cultural Programming and Grants Coordinator, at hplate@vbgov.com.
