We’re excited to be a part of this wonderful local event! They will perform pieces that encapsulate the spirit of winter. Our first piece “Ice Storm” is an upbeat number that mixes elements of a number of traditional Highland dances. Our finale piece “Cry of the Celts” combines Highland and Irish choreography and the use of figure dancing to create a dynamic dance experience.
