StepCrew Brings Celtic Dance, Music, and Song to Adelphi PAC
Garden City, NY (02/16/2023) — Boasting 10 award-winning Celtic dance and music performers, The StepCrew will delight audience-goers at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC) on Saturday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. This unique dance production to take place on the Westermann Stage features three styles of dance-Irish, Tap, and Ottawa Valley step dance.
The talented cast of dancers and musicians is led by Long Island's own Cara Butler and the Pilatzke Brothers Jon and Nathan, all three longtime touring members of Grammy Award winners The Chieftains. Butler began dancing at the age of six, went on to win numerous Irish dance championships at world-class levels, and is famous for her starring role as the lead dancer in the nationwide Folgers coffee commercial, "A Dancer's Morning". Current students from the Donny Golden School of Irish Dance, where Butler also studied, will be part of the show. The StepCrew boasts Celtic and World music from three world-class fiddle players backed by a five-piece ensemble.
