There’s a saying that Irish step dancers kick butt. Not just because the dance form is so awesome, but because the technique actually requires dancers to kick their bottoms through their movements. Next week, more than 60 members of the Kelly Irish Dancers dance group, taught in Chattaroy, Wash., will jig and reel at their annual spring recital at the Bing Crosby Theater, performing choreography by instructor Margaret Evans. The recital’s first half centers on the Irish tale of St. Brendan’s voyage; the second includes live music by local Celtic group Broken Whistle. As in years past, the family-centric show literally kicks butt. April 7-8 at 7 pm.
