Penn State’s Irish dance performance group, Rince na Leon, was created by Margaret and Erin O’Brien in the spring of 2011. The club is dedicated to providing opportunities for all dancers to improve their skill, no matter their level of Irish dance experience. Rince na Leon has dancers of all levels: retired, competitive, non-competitive, and new Irish dancers. Since they were established, the Irish step dancers have performed during THON, 100 Days ‘Til THON, and on Saint Patrick’s Day. You can even catch these Irish dancers performing a jig or two at Kildare’s once a month. If you’re interested in joining or want to brush up on your jigging skills in time for Saint Patrick’s Day, visit their web site.
