Craic On

Eileen Dahill/Minnesota

My group, the St. Paul Irish Dancers, are on our last leg of dancing and looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day. We are dancing tired now. There are flecks of glitter make-up all over our gear. We have lost our composure backstage. We just keep laughing as it’s one-more-time that we are crammed into stage left or stage right. It might be a school kitchen that we come bounding out of or a professional stage but there is nothing like the anticipation of performing on St. Patrick’s Day. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
