Irish dance 101

These Kendall Junior High School students recently learned that Irish dance is more difficult than it looks ... and a lot of fun. They participated with Spencerport students in a Project ADEPT (A Diversified Enrichment Program for the Talented) through BOCES 2 at Drumcliffe School of Irish Dance in Rochester. The students learned about the history and culture that surrounds this popular form of dance and participated in several Irish dances.
