The Trinity Irish Dance Company quickly dispels whatever notions you may have about Irish dance. They bring their innovative and award-winning dance style to Harris Center for the Arts in Folsom for two performances in one evening. Founded in 1981 by Artistic Director Mark Howard, this innovative dance group is constantly searching for original means of expression while maintaining a high regard for old traditions. Trinity, a uniquely Irish-American group, was the birthplace of progressive Irish dance which opened new avenues of artistic expression that led directly to commercial productions such as Riverdance. Trinity Irish Dance Company will perform Friday, March 13, 2015 at 3 & 7:30 pm. Tickets are priced at $25-$39; Premium $49; Children 12 and Under $20; 10% Discount on Matinee Single Tickets. Tickets are available online at www.harriscenter.net or from the Harris Center Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Parking is included in the price of the ticket. Harris Center is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, CA, facing East Bidwell Street. A majority of Trinity’s dancers came through the ranks of the prestigious Trinity Academy of Irish Dance, the Chicago/Milwaukee-based school that has garnered an unprecedented 17 world titles for the United States at the World Championships of Irish Dance. Many of them have danced together since they were children; building an instinctual bond that allows them to take risks no other dance group would dare attempt. Their years of rigorous training are evident in every perfectly paced spin, leap and click, making them a lethal powerhouse of speed and sound that has electrified audiences around the world.
