Lewisburg, WV (WVDN) – Carnegie Hall’s Class & Workshop Series presents a special lecture and demo by the Rhythm of the Dance dancers before their performance on Sunday, March 3, at 12:30 p.m. in the Old Stone Room (located on the ground floor). The class is free, but attendees must register.
The workshop will be an informative afternoon of exploring the world of historic Irish Dance. Dancers and community members of all ages will have a rare opportunity to meet with the performing artists and learn firsthand about Ireland’s cultural heritage of music and dance.
Rated as the most popular Irish Dance production touring the world, Rhythm of the Dance celebrates all elements of Irish culture with champion step dancers and innovative choreography, first rate Irish musicians and singers, and storytelling that is centuries old.
“Our part of West Virginia is steeped in Scots Irish culture, history, and descendants and we often receive requests for music and dance of this genre because of the connection,” explains Kit Lindsey, Carnegie Hall Development Manager. “Seldom in rural Appalachia does a community have the opportunity to engage in an international ensemble of this caliber.”
