Celtic Crossroads: Where Irish Dance and Highland Dance Intersect

In this fascinating episode Zack Warsaw, who dances and is certified to teach both Irish and Highland Dance and adjudicates Irish Dance as a ADCRG, meets with us to talk about the similarities and differences between Irish Dance and Highland Dance - in movements, music, complexity, and visibility. We talk about how we can foster a deeper sense of Celtic community and grown both dance disciplines through greater collaboration.

This episode is being released shortly before our own Celtic Crossroads performance on June 1, 2024 - a collaborate performance between the Carroll-Henderson School of Irish Dance, the Missoula Highland Dancers, and the Celtic Dragon Pipe Band.

Zack is a TCRG, ADCRG and a Highland and National Member of the BATD. He is also an Executive Board Member for the Collegiate Irish Dance Association.
