    Don't Just See Irish Dancing; Try It Yourself

    The evening show is both entertaining and enlightening. It's a chance to see the development of Irish dancing over the past 100 years. However, the real attraction for anyone looking to embrace Ireland on their vacation is the afternoon Hop Up show. Sue and Megan...More

    Nice show.

    This was a nice little show. Only an hour long and the 4 dancers were really good. Lots of information before the show started and as it was going on. Worth the visit.
