The National Dance Company of Ireland is returning to the Markham Theatre March 9 and 10 with “Rhythm of the Dance,” one of the most popular Irish step dance shows in the world.
Choreographed by veteran dancer Doireann Carney who toured the world with hit-shows Riverdance and Rhythms of Ireland, Rhythm of the Dance features a live band, the three-member group The Young Irish Tenors, and 22 dancers.
The show has been touring consistently for 11 years and has performed in 36 countries on 4 continents.
The framework for the show is a survey of Irish history. Not only can we experience Ireland’s oldest dance traditions, but newer ones as well. The quintessential Irish experience is a given, but a taste of the Irish diaspora, of which Canada is a part, is also in the program.
