Inspired by Janet McShain’s beautiful painting, that graces the stage at the Commodore John Barry Arts and Cultural Center, Pari Livermore and Kathy Magee Burns conceived of this event to benefit the Irish Center. The crossroads dance was a type of event popular in Ireland years ago, in which people would congregate at the large cleared space of a crossroads to dance. The tradition of the dance was continued in America at local Social clubs, where regularly scheduled dances were held. Many a young person met their sweethearts at the dances and it was evident last evening as many of the dancers were celebrating milestones in their relationships, all nurtured by dancing. iThe evening was a total success. It would be nice to meet at the Crossroads again for regular dances.
