Life is short… and precious. Yesterday, we lost a stalwart of the Catskill Iris… Eileen Ward needs your support for Honoring Michael Farrell: A Community Hero

I’m trying to get a group together for adults (young and forever young) for Irish Set Dance lessons at the Foothills on Thursday evenings. I will need a minimum of eight people. If you are interested please let me know. I am posting a link here for you to watch one of the dances to show this is done on the ball of the foot and the heel. It is not on the toes like step dancing.

Hello 👋, I am finally updating the status of our group. Sorry it has taken so long, but, as everyone knows, the pandemic happened. We have been having a difficult time finding a place to hold our classes and unfortunately we have been unable as yet to secure a new location. I will post the new location, time and date as soon as possible. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your continued interest.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! This is the first St. Patrick’s day in 24 years that I am not out the door with my sound system and costumes to start the circuit of schools, nursing homes, etc. with my dancers. It feels very strange, and we will reschedule our performances, but for today let’s remember who’s day it is and offer up his prayer. Stay well and safe. Slainte! It’s still a great day to be Irish!🧙🏻‍♀️👒☘️🇮🇪
