Irish Dancing in Kansas


Aideen Hagan (right) and Rachel Hamill, both 15 and of Portadown, Northern Ireland, perform traditional Irish dancing during a rehearsal for the Ulster Project talent show at the Flag Theater in Hutchinson on Thursday afternoon, July 23.

This is one photo of many I took while following around this big group of Irish and American teenagers to several different events over about a two or three week period, during the Irish group's visit to Hutchinson. The Ulster Project is a program that brings together Protestant and Catholic teens from Northern Ireland and the United States in order to foster better understanding and friendship between the two groups in Northern Ireland. A group of Irish teens and support faculty was paired with teens and faculty in Hutchinson and the Hutch News did a big story following the group's activities. This was my favorite picture from the story.
