The Haran Irish Dancers have been delighting audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest for the past ten years.  In the words of director Deirdre Abeid TCRG, "Our success as a performing company is rooted in the fact that our dancers and musicians really love to entertain their audiences and spread the spirit of joy."  In our shows we incorporate traditional and non-traditional Irish step dancing.  Audiences can expect to see the lovely slip jigs danced in soft shoe, figure dance and group choreographies, Irish folk tales dramatized through song and dance, as well as fast moving, dead-accurate, hard shoe dancing.  In the Irish Dance world we are known for our creativity and spirit of fun.
 
From humble beginnings in Kettle Falls, Washington, the Haran Dancers are branching out in both competition and performance.  They have won many regional as well as national competitions and two of their principal dancers qualified for the world championships.  In November of 2002, three of the principals were invited to dance in Kyoto, Japan with world class uillean piper, Tommy Creegan.  In February 2003, they traveled to Salzburg, Austria, to perform a Taste of the Northwest with Canadian band, Tillers Folly.
