“Sophisticated and commanding” (Los Angeles Times), the Trinity Irish Dance Company (TIDC) is the birthplace of progressive Irish dance, an innovative movement genre that “ushered in a new era for Irish step dance” (Chicago Tribune).

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Miller this year with our dynamic opening performance! This sophisticated and cutting-edge Irish dance troupe will leave you breathless.

Through a blend of percussive power and aerial grace, TIDC sends a clear message of female empowerment.

This performance celebrates Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard’s unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation. The program features Howard’s “Push”, an explosion of virtuosic footwork, “An Sorcas” (The Circus), a colorful comment on the battle between substance and spectacle choreographed by Howard and Associate Artistic Director Chelsea Hoy, and “American Traffic”, a hybrid of Irish step and American tap that plays at the intersection of rhythmic sensibilities and rebellious histories, choreographed by Michelle Dorrance and Melinda Sullivan.

Featuring a live band fronted by Killarney-born, New York-based singer/songwriter Brendan O’Shea, the program will be rounded out by classic pieces from Howard, including “Johnny”, the early work that altered the Irish dance landscape.
