It’s your lucky day! To help us celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we have a beautiful dance performance at the Dallas Farmers Market and you are invited to join us!
Saturday March 18th at 3pm in Pearl Plaza we will have The McTeggart Irish Dancers of North Texas performing, you will not want to miss this!
@mcteggartntx was founded by Maureen McTeggart Hall in 1984 and has been offering classes in competitive and performance Irish step dancing in the DFW area since. McTeggart dancers not only compete locally, regionally, and internationally they also perform at many events to promote and keep alive the art of traditional Irish dancing
Irish dancing is made of fast and intricate footwork, which is the focal point of the dance. However, arm movement appears to be non-existent and is quite irrelevant as the principal lays in the motion of the feet. Legend has it that dancers performed in very limited spaces, which made it hard for them to move their arms. Small rural pubs and such places were crowded, with very little room for arm movement. This eventually became an inseparable part of the dance and it became tradition, which is why it is still performed this way today.
At DFM we love the keeping of traditions and we are so excited to host this talented group for everyone to enjoy!
