Every year, we eagerly anticipate the Annual Lakewood Renaissance Fair, and this year was no exception! On Sunday, October 6th, 2024, our dancers added a touch of Celtic magic to the festivities at Pine Park, in Lakewood, NJ. Surrounded by knights, artisans, and the lively spirit of the Renaissance, our performers brought the stage to life with traditional Irish dance, enchanting audiences with their graceful routines.
A Performance to Remember
Our talented dancers showcased a stunning mix of soft shoe jigs and reels, captivating the crowd with intricate choreography and the rhythmic beats of Irish music. The performance was a true celebration of Irish heritage, demonstrating the dancers’ dedication to preserving our vibrant cultural traditions.
