The National Dance Company of Ireland, featuring The Young Irish Tenors, tours the UK this summer and comes to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre September 9-10.
Rhythm of the Dance celebrates both rich history of Ireland as well as the art of Irish dance. It is now in its 15th year and has been seen by more than 4.8 million people in 59 countries, including the United States, China and Russia, but has rarely visited the United Kingdom.
The cast of 19 dancers, five musicians, and three singers are working class Irish talents, most of whom have been performing since they were four or five.
They are led by Marty McKay, who also danced in Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance.
