Dancers from the Treasure Valley Academy of Irish Dance and the band Na Buille will perform. Academy instructors David Chase and Bridy Frett will lead willing participants in simple steps and dances. Light refreshment of cookies, tea, punch and Irish soda bread will be served.

The Ceili is sponsored by the Boise State Multi-Cultural Center and Irish Heritage of Idaho. Tickets are $7 general admission and $5 for Boise State students, faculty and staff and Irish Heritage Club or Irish American Club members at Select-A-Seat, www.idahotickets.com, or call 426-1766.
