“Darrah Carr Dance presented their ModErin blend of traditional Irish step and contemporary modern dance. The familiar form where the upper body is held stiffly and the intricate footwork is accented was contrasted with a more balletic free flowing style, all done to rousing Irish music and enthusiastically received by the children. They, in true Young Audiences fashion, were invited up on the stage to participate.”

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the fabulous assembly this morning. The dancers were absolutely wonderful with the kids. I know there are many talented performers out there, but it's a completely different talent to also be able to run an enthusiastic, interactive, educational, and fun assembly with 600 people! They did a fabulous job and I wanted to let you know how impressed I was.”
