Trinity Irish Dance Company

Dance St. Louis presents Trinity Irish Dance Company at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.

Founded in 1990 by creative force and renowned choreographer Mark Howard, the uniquely Irish American company was the birthplace of progressive Irish dance, an innovative movement genre that “ushered in a new era for Irish step dance,” according to the Chicago Tribune.

Through a blend of percussive power and aerial grace, Trinity Irish Dance Company sends a consistent message of female empowerment with a repertory that has elevated the art form for almost three decades.

With inventive drive and a strong vision, the dance company has been revitalized in recent years, and it continues to carve new traditions for an ancient and beloved art form to this day.
