Dancers from Queensland’s top Irish dance school will take audience members on a magical journey this month when they present Dance an Irish Dream at the Ipswich Civic Centre.
Almost 60 performers from Watkins Academy of Irish Dance will take part in the end of year performance on November 30 which will offer an afternoon of dynamic music, song and dance.
Principal teacher Sheryl Watkins said the performance tells the tale of a group of young Irish Dancers who are on a journey to become the best in the world.
“The dancers showcase their journey from those first dance steps through to the tough audition process and finally to being part of the world’s best Irish Show,” Ms Watkins said.
Ms Watkins said performers aged from four years to early thirties had rehearsed for many months to perfect award-winning choreographies.
“Our dancers know if they are willing to work for it, they can achieve anything,” she said.
“Dance an Irish Dream is a fitting tribute to the dedication of these committed and passionate dancers.”
Ms Watkins said Irish dance is an innovative and different technique that continues to intrigue.
“It’s such a passionate, athletic yet graceful art form,” she said.
“Our discipline is constantly evolving as new tricks in footwork, jumps and rhythms are introduced, keeping Irish dance fresh.”
Dance an Irish Dream will be held at 2.45pm on November 30.
