Saint Patricks day performance





We were very lucky on St. Patricks day! We danced at a nursing home in the area and we're blessed to have a wonderful audience. We also had the good fortune to have the MaGuire Academy of Irish dance come and join us for the performance! The Irish dancers did some traditional Irish dances. The Highland dancers did some traditional Highland dances and a few non Traditional. And we threw in a country dance or two from each country. We all had fun dancing and the lovely people welcomed us and were such a delight to dance for the dancers look forward to when they can go back and dance for them!
