BEVERLY ART WALK ALERT!!
There is plenty of entertainment as part of the Beverly Art Walk.
The only place you'll be able to see Irish dancers, though, will be at the Ridge Historical Society.
Dancers from Weber Irish Dance will perform at RHS at 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Irish dance is a significant part of Irish culture, history, identity, and of course, the performance arts. It doesn't have to be St. Patrick's Day to enjoy a good Irish jig!
Traditional Irish dancing was taught by traveling dance masters across Ireland in the 1600s and 1700s, and regional and local variations developed.
Modern Irish dancing developed from traditional Irish dancing, with some influence from later country dancing and possibly even quadrilles as Irish dancing spread with the migrating Irish people and became popular world-wide in the 1800s.
RHS is located at 10621 S. Seeley Avenue, Chicago. Park on Seeley Avenue and walk down the driveway to the house. RHS will be open from 12 noon to 5:00 p.m. for the Art Walk with many activities.
