• 5. Feel like a real Irish by looking at other IrishWeek events

After all, St. Patrick's Day and the Week of Ireland in Moscow can not be imagined without a bright dance event.This year the dance part of the festival is presented by the St. Patrick’s DANCE PARADE, in which Moscow groups will acquaint the audience with a wide variety of Irish dances - from LordoftheDance-style productions to the old-school shan-nos step.

The hallmark of Ireland Week has always been great music, and St. Patrick's DANCE PARADE will not be an exception - LOST TEMPLE BROTHERS will rock the whole evening on stage. Together with LOST TEMPLE BROTHERS, the dancers ARS LONGA, IRIDAN, CELTIC WIND, FOLKDANCE, VERESK and other groups that the audience has known and loved for more than a dozen years will create a dance festival on the stage of the Central House of Journalists.
