An Irish dancer’s St. Patrick’s Day - mixing business and pleasure in the month of March

For a certain group of people, St. Patrick’s Day means all business.

One of the nicest pieces about growing up doing Irish dance shows is that each dancer ends up in a routine as to what shows he or she will be attending each year. For many years, I attended the same nursing home and library on St. Patrick’s Day. Getting to see that not only were the staff and patients looking forward to dancers, but that they also remembered specific dancers was always so touching. Each year they would note how you’ve grown and just look so happy to have some entertainment for even an hour. It was one of the best part about doing shows.

So while St. Patrick’s Day season may be all business for Irish dancers, it’s the business of pleasure. March is the the good life for an Irish dancer - adoring fans, free food and good friends.
