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.
