Trinity Irish Dance Company presents “JIG”

Sunday, January 26, 2025 – 7:00pm

Presented by: Craterian Performances

Offering everything you’d expect and nothing you’d imagine, the Trinity Irish Dance Company brings a cutting-edge vision to the stage. Founded in 1990 and called “sophisticated and commanding” by the Los Angeles Times and “impossibly complex” by the New York Times, TIDC has sold out distinguished venues throughout the US, including Washington’s Kennedy Center, NYC’s Joyce Theater, and LA’s Royce Hall. Redefining what is possible for Irish music and dance, TIDC’s latest offering, JIG, will immerse audiences in an authentic experience that celebrates the power of rhythm and movement.
