The stage at the third floor cafeteria located in the S-Building at the Downtown Milwaukee Campus came alive with the rhythm and style of traditional Irish dance.

Colorful uniforms and dancers, as young as three to adult, gave the cafeteria a show that got the crowd clapping and tapping their feet. The traditional Irish music filled the air. The woman behind this popular team is also a former student and competitor, both as a dancer and talented fiddler.
Brigid Kinsella-Alba gave an outstanding performance that set the beat for the dancers and was a hit with many in attendance. The name Kinsella was chosen in honor of one of the first teachers, Therese Kinsella, who taught honor and tradition in the Irish dance.

Children from the MATC day care joined in the festivities on stage.
