Eire Born Irish Dancers are comprised of top dancers from the Nora Pickett Irish Dance Academy (NPIDA) in Richmond, and North/West Vancouver, Canada. Eire Born dancers are dynamically trained for local, national and international performances and are accepted by invitation only into the performance groups. Every Eire Born dance member traveling internationally from Canada has achieved a prizewinner to championship level of Irish dance. Eire Born dancers work together to produce a very energetic, awe-inspiring and professional show. Dance styles range from traditional to a more modern "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Dance" style. Eire Born dancers ages range from 7 to 17. They “set the stage on fire” (Victoria Times) with Natalie MacMaster and her band when they toured with her in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.  Eire Born also received the famous Royal Clap from Her Majesty The Queen of England on her Golden Jubilee Tour of Canada in 2002.  Contact us for a dynamic, awe-inspiring dance show for your future special event.
