Take a journey through Christmas in Ireland with superb dancing, singing and Irish traditional music celebrating the international spirit of the holiday season!

An award-winning cast of Irish dancers led by World Champion Tyler Schwartz will take to the stage at the iconic United Irish Cultural Center, San Francisco in a ‘kick-up your heels’ performance of An Irish Christmas on Saturday, December 4 at 2:00 pm.

Joining in the fun will be principal dancer Emily MacConnell (Dance Masters, Rockin’ Road to Dublin, Magic of the Dance, Celtic Fyre and Celtic Wings) Colm Alba and the Kerry Dance Troupe, the superb Kerry Voice Squad singing favorite holiday standards (12 Days of Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Silent Night to name a few) and the Kerry Traditional Orchestra led by Jesse Langen.

The traditions woven into the performance: butter-making, chasing the wren on St. Stephen’s Day, drawing down the half door for a spectacular dance display are simply awe inspiring! This is Ireland at its best – mesmerizing, riveting, mystical, joyful and modern. “…
The capacity crowd nearly brought the house down at the end of the evening.” (The Irish Herald). So put your Irish attitude on, come and enjoy an afternoon of dance, song, music, laughter, and sheer joy that will put you in the holiday spirit. An unforgettable visit to Ireland.
