THE three Irish dance schools of Quinn School of Irish Dance, Kildara School of Irish Dance and Lorraine Scallon School of Irish Dance were treated to a unique experience at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Cultra, Co Down. They received a personal tour of the Step in Time exhibition by museum curator Valerie Wilson. They were also given the opportunity to be hands-on in the crafts workshop with the girls making tiaras and the boys making Taras. Everyone tried their hand at willow making with a willow star created by all the children for their Christmas tree. The highlight of the day was the Irish dance workshop taken by a former Riverdance performer.
