Boston Strong

stepabt — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:07:15 +0000

Tonight at 6pm, Step About Boston will be dancing at a free poetry reading by Irish poet Paul Muldoon, coordinated by the Institute for the Study of Irish Culture here at BU. http://www.bu.edu/cgs/citl/isic/news-events/

When we planned this show several months ago, we had no idea what this week would be like. We have decided to dedicate our performance tonight to the victims of the attack at the Boston Marathon, and particularly Jane Richard, a young Irish dancer who was seriously injured in the attack, and her family.

We will keep dancing. We are Boston Strong.

It’s Ceili Week!

stepabt — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:00:17 +0000

We are all so, so excited to perform for you all at our annual Ceili next Friday, March 1st! We’ve been working really hard this year putting together some awesome dances and we can’t wait to share them! We’ll be spending this next week putting the final touches on the lovely dances choreographed by our dance captains, Mikayla Amoling, Nicole Homerin, and Liz Morlock, as well as some solos and small group pieces. Along with that, we will have live celtic music performed by The Band Tradition, free traditional Irish food (and some goodies!), and we’ll even be teaching some dance moves to the audience!

The ceili will be held in Boston University’s SAC Gym at 1 University Rd at 7:30 p.m. It’s a really fun night and we hope some of you will come out and join us!

From Dublin to Delhi: A Night of Dance

stepabt — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 16:45:31 +0000

We are so excited to finally be putting on our own show in the fall semester! We’ve paired up with Dheem, a classical Indian dance group on campus to create From Dublin to Delhi: A Night of Dance. There will be both classical Irish and Indian solo and group performances and one dance that the two groups collaborated together! And, as any good event does, we will have free food! The refreshments served will be both traditional Irish and Indian food (although we won’t be serving the most traditional Irish refreshment: Guinness.) It’s still going to be a really fun night! If you haven’t seen us perform, this will be a really great night to do so — it’s free! — and if you’re a regular at our performances, this will be a good chance to see us and to introduce yourself to a new type of dance! Consider coming out to BU Central (in the basement at 775 Commonwealth Ave) this Wednesday, November 7 at 8 p.m. to come watch!

We hope we’ll see you there!

October Performances!

stepabt — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:35:41 +0000

We’ve been practicing so hard lately, we’ve hardly found time to update you on what we have going on! We finished learning the choreography by our wonderful Liz Morlock, dance captain, last night though and we’re so excited to debut it at some performances this weekend!

This Sunday, October 28th we will be performing in TWO (That’s right, TWO) shows on campus! First, we’ll go for a little bit of competition at the 3rd annual So You Think BU Can Dance, presented by BU’s China Care Fund. We’ve performed in shows that the China Care Fund has put on before and they’re always a lot of fun, so we’re really excited about this one!

After that, we will head over to Montage!, put on by Boston University’s Ballroom Dance Club & Team. Montage! is usually our first show of the semester, and we really love it! It’s so much fun to dance in and to watch the other groups that are participating!

Last but not least, to add to an already very Irish-dance-filled weekend, our aforementioned dance captain Liz will be competing (also on Sunday) at the Harvest Time Feis in Burlington, MA. Wish her luck!

We hope we’ll see you at one of our shows! We promise you’ll have a lot of fun!

More Performances!

Just when we think our semester is wrapping up, the offers for performances keep rolling in! So this Saturday SAB will be performing at Families for Depression Awareness’ event, Strides Against Stigma on Nickerson Field. The event is a walk-a-thon to raise awareness for depression which will be going on all day, and there is a recommended donation of $10 for the event. If you’d like to just come see us dance, though, we’ll be going on around 2:40 and you can get in for free! We’d love to see some of you come out to support an awesome cause and watch us perform some cool choreography!

Don’t forget that we will also be performing Monday April 30th at the Excellence in Student Activities Awards Show (Metcalf Ballroom, 7p.m.)!

These will be probably be our last shows of the semester, so we hope you can catch at least one of them!
