Welcome to Belisama Irish Dance.

What an amazing St. Patrick's Day weekend! One great show after another with a standing ovation and a sold out house to finish the run! Thank you to everyone who came out for Rhythm of Fire 2012 and even more thanks to everyone who helped behind the scenes. Special thanks to guest musicians Laura Cortese and Jono Manson!

"When Laura Cortese called me to play with her for the Rhythm of Fire performance I honestly did not know what to expect. From beat one I was impressed and, moreover, deeply moved by the professionalism, dedication and passion displayed by all of the dancers. Best of all, my 19-month-old daughter was able to attend the performance (her first ever dance concert!) and she loved it. I must admit that I got a bit teary-eyed as I imagined her dancing on that stage someday, not so long from now. Thanks for letting me be a part of such a beautiful event!"

Summer classes begin June 19!

Further comments about the Rhythm of Fire show:

"The staging and choreography are spot on, costuming and lighting breath taking and innovative. The live music is a good fit, and splendidly done. Thanks again for a fine show." -- Lee P.

"...the show really took me by surprise - it was so creative and the dancers had a professionalism about them that I didn't anticipate and had never seen before - the mix of modern etc. and Irish - and I really really loved the music." -- Nanci M.

"Congratulations on a wonderful show! I had someone tell me they were moved to tears. The choreography was very enjoyable with something for everyone." -- Debra H.
