The Maldon Meehan Dancer’s Dancing at the Newport Celtic Festival. 

notes

The Maldon Meehan Dancers perform this number at local festivals and events. We adjust it according to the number of dancers in the show.

When dancing it as an ace-ella number we have half the dancers dance the first step of every “run on step” and the other half dance the send “run on step”. If the number is uneven we have one dancer dance all the “run on steps” with each group.
