Celtic Sparks

Experience the energy of Irish dancing with Celtic Sparks! For the first time, some of the most talented Dutch musicians and dancers are joining forces. A show full of dexterous playing, ear-pleasing singing and dance that really sparks. Don't miss it!

Celtic Sparks follows in the footsteps of well-known shows such as 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance', presenting Irish music and dance in an overwhelming way. With no fewer than ten dancers and eight musicians, Celtic Sparks is a major production, treating the audience to an unforgettable experience. The evening program consists entirely of original compositions and choreographies, with a wide variety of sounds, from sweet-toned Celtic ballads to the well-known rolling Irish tap dance.

The performance is designed by dancer Rosalie Wagenaar (founder of the Rose Irish Dance School and dancer with Rapalje) and band leader/musician/composer Tijn Berends.
