(BARNEGAT, NJ) -- In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch is pleased to present a performance by the Emerald Isle Academy of Irish Dance on Saturday, March 4 at 2:00pm. The dancers are excited to showcase their Irish heritage through step dancing. They’ll perform reels, jigs, and traditional routines, modern show pieces, and soft-shoe and hard-shoe dances.
Students of the Emerald Isle Academy of Irish Dance in New Jersey and Pennsylvania have achieved regional, national, and world rankings. Luke Sooy captured second place among boys aged 13-14 in the 2022 Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne World Championships in Ireland, a year after winning his category in the 2021 Irish Dancing and Culture North American Championship.
The performance, ideal for families with children age three and up, is sponsored by Friends of the Barnegat Library.
