Irish Students Attend Private Workshop With Riverdancers
On Saturday, April 17th over 45 of our Irish students had the
opportunity to attend a private workshop with the dancers from
"Riverdance" at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center.  Our students were
joined by 55 students from Richmond making a grand total of 100 students
at the worskhop. The instructors included Lead Dancer-Padraic Moyles,
Dance Captain: Maeve Croke and Troupe members:  Kevin Horton, Lisa
Murphy, and Craig Ashurst.  All the students received great feedback and
advice from the instructors on their dancing and also got to ask them
questions during the Q & A session.

That evening those that attended the 8:00pm show at the Landmark
Theater got to meet all the troupe members after the show to get
autographs and pictures!  It was a fun, inspiring day for our dancers
and one they will take with them forever!
