In their program Life, Love, and Lore of the Irish Travellers, the Danceperados. turn their attention to the Irish Travellers.

The Travellers are an isolated minority with unusual customs and rituals. Many people recognize them from historical films, where they are shown traveling through the countryside on horseback and in covered wagons. Superstition and family honor play a major role in their lives, as do dance and music. Some of Ireland’s greatest musicians and dancers were or are “Travelers.” Had the Irish nomads not held fast to their traditions even in times when their subculture was viewed as backward, Irish folk music might well have disappeared from the scene.

The Danceperados tell their story through moving songs, passionate dances and an impressive multi-vision presentation. This unique combination of dance, music and visual elements creates an atmosphere that moves and inspires the audience.
