Locals Perform In 'A Great Night For The Irish'
Local championship Irish Step dancers Laura Gilmartin, Mary Ann Opperman and Julie Opperman put on a sensational performance at Carnegie Hall in a production of "A Great Night for the Irish" on Friday, February 23. The girls are pictured with their teacher, Donny Golden, an accomplished dancer in his own right who has gone on to teach hundreds of Irish Step dancers. Golden was honored in 1995 by former President Bill Clinton with the National Heritage Award for achievements in the arts, and promoting the development and preservation of Irish dancing. The award is the highest American honor that can be awarded to an individual artist for their contributions.
