Want to try Irish dance?

Learn a little Irish dance, get a little exercise, and have a little fun (or a lot!).
Celtic Motion is conducting beginner classes on Tuesdays from 6-7 pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church (3535 Kessler Blvd North Drive, Indianapolis).  Any and all are invited to participate, and attendance at every class isn't required.  Please contact Mark Folger (247-7568) for details.

2010 State Fair Remembered

The Celtic Motion dancers successfully tackled 4 performances at the 2010 Indiana State Fair in August.  After braving one of the hottest days on record for our first show, things cooled off a bit and both dancers and audience were much happier.  Some of our favorite CM alums came to cheer us on, which was so nice of them.  Following the Fair, the dancers took a little time off to rest and recuperate.  But all good things must come to an end, so we're back in the swing of things as we prepare for our next 2 performances: the 61st Annual Christmas Gift & Hobby Show, and the 2010 International Festival.
