Luck of the Irish

I’m no Aisling Holly, the Irish step dancer who claims to0 be the fastest dancer alive — 40 clicks a second — far from it. I jig and hop only when mad. But because it’s St. Patrick’s Day, I thought to celebrate that weird and wonderful thing known as Irish step dance — devilishly quick fast below the waist, somber and still above — which I saw last weekend at the Markham Theatre for the Performing Arts. Slainte!
