Darrah Carr Dance presented their ModErin blend of traditional Irish step and contemporary modern dance. The familiar form where the upper body is held stiffly and the intricate footwork is accented was contrasted with a more balletic free flowing style, all done to rousing Irish music and enthusiastically received by the children. They, in true Young Audiences fashion, were invited up on the stage to participate.
