History
The Seattle Irish Dance Company was created out of the realization that there were few professional performance options for elite Irish Dancers in the Northwest. It was founded in order to bring the art form of Irish dance to a wider and more contemporary audience, to challenge adult dancers to take on technically demanding material , and create choreography that is relevant, exciting and accessible to a wide variety of audiences.
