The Flying Irish did a great job for an audience of over 70 people! There were so many dancers of a variety of ages, and each dance was unique! The dancers were all so talented, and the crowd especially loved the rhythm of the hardshoe jigs. For many parents, it was a great way to introduce their children to the art of Irish Dance; kids loved seeing the dancers leaping across the stage. Everyone had a nice time, and it was a fun way to kick-off the St. Patrick's Day weekend. We would love to have the Flying Irish perform again!

"The Flying Irish Dancers have become a welcomed tradition at Great Wolf Lodge New England by our guests and pack members for our annual St. Patrick's Day celebration year after year. Mary-Sarah is well organized and professional and her dancers are a delight with their fast foot work and smiles that just don't quit. We look forward to their return every year!"
M. Crowley, Kids Experience manager, Great Wolf Lodge New England
The Townsend Public Library has hosted the Flying Irish dancers for St. Patrick's Day entertainment multiple times. We always have a huge crowd. The performances are lively and fun to watch. I highly recommend this wonderful group of dancers.
